Emergency Care
For children entering out of home care or needing a new care arrangement unexpectedly, emergency care can provide the calm and settling environment they need to feel safe and secure whilst longer term arrangements are made. Emergency carers are experts at managing the uncertain and communicating openly with care teams. They are resilient people who have the flexibility in their lives circumstances to be available for the needs of children in some of the most difficult times.
More emergency carers are always needed to ensure children are cared for in home environments, and we'd love you to learn more about whether this is something you could do. Check out our informative fact sheet below.
