I am a foster care service, am I required to keep client files in addition to carer files?
Yes. You are required to keep separate client files to those kept for carers for the following reasons: • If the young person moves placement (both from and within the service) then this information needs to be easily located • It should be in an easy to access location if the young person requests access to the information or if it is requested through Freedom of Information • The information needs to be easily returned to the department when the young person transitions or the placement ends.
