Foster Carers
742 Ms STINSON (Badcoe) (14 May 2019). How many foster carers are suspended from caring at 1 March 2019? What are the reasons for these suspensions?
The Hon. R. SANDERSON (Adelaide—Minister for Child Protection): I have been advised:
The Department for Child Protection does not 'suspend' foster carers from caring. At times, the department applies a condition of 'no new placements' against carers within the SA child protection system.
There are multiple reasons for which the department may apply the condition of 'no new placements' against a carer/s. These reasons include, but are not limited to:
the carer may have an expired screening clearance
the carer may request a break from a child or young person being placed in their care
the household may relocate to an alternative jurisdiction
there is a change in the personal circumstance for the foster family which impedes their ability to accept the placement of a child or young person.
