This Foster Carer Log Book should be used to record all events in the child's day, including what went well for the child and what could have been better.
If there is more than one child placed, the foster carer is required to log a separate form on each child.
Further information is provided in the Practice Guidance section "What to Record" within the Fostering Service Record Keeping Policy.
NB. Foster Carers must inform the Child's Social Worker, Supervising Social Worker or the Emergency Duty Team of any specific incident that occurs in respect of a child or young person placed with them. Initially this can be done by telephone but should always be confirmed by completion of a Specific Incident Form
If appropriate the Emergency Duty Team (EDT) can be contacted on 0300-303-8875.
