The information we have provided below is a starting point to the legislation and guidance relating to children and young people in foster care in Northern Ireland, rather than a comprehensive list.
The legislative framework for Northern Ireland's child protection system is set out in The Children (Northern Ireland) Order 1995. This sets out parental responsibilities and rights and the duties and powers public authorities have to support children.
The Fostering Network's annual Northern Ireland Foster Care Awards recognise and celebrate the contribution individual foster and kinship carers make towards the lives of children in foster care.
This year's awards ceremony will be held on Saturday 16 November in Titanic Belfast. Nominations for this year's awards are now closed.
2018's ceremony took place in the Hilton Hotel, Belfast on Saturday 12 May 2018.
The programme gives parents the support of a foster carer who can ‘step up’ if the family needs additional support and ‘step down’ when parents are in a better place to support their children.
