A Child Arrangements Order (CAO) is a legal order where the court decides either where a child will live or who a child can spend time with and for how long.
Class teachers and support staff should ensure that they have a good understanding of the child or young person’s developmental history and learning profile and that they have access to recent assessment information.
Kinship foster care is when a friend or family member becomes an official foster carer for a child. This is different to other forms of kinship care as the child is then considered ‘looked after’, and you won’t have parental responsibility.
