CLA - Children Looked After: This is the official term used for children who are in foster care

This was previously known as Looked After Child or LAC. The change was made in an attempt always to put the child first and to remember that, first and foremost, they are a child who happens to be looked after

Care leaver - A person who has previously been in the care system

Most often, care leavers are young people who have been in the care system under the age of 18. In some cases, these young people will move on to their own lives or independent living when they turn 18, but sometimes families will continue to support the young person as they would their own children and regularly keep in touch

This year’s Mental Health Awareness Week theme is Action

One caring adult can change the direction of a child’s life
One safe home
One encouraging voice
One person who shows up consistently

At Calon Cymru Fostering, we see every day how foster carers across Wales help children feel safe, supported, and valued again

This Mental Health Awareness Week, we recognise the incredible actions foster carers take to support children’s emotional wellbeing and recovery πŸ’š

When we saw that the theme for was "This is Fostering" we didn't have to think twice about how we show what fostering is to our foster carers

Here they are summing up what fostering is to them in just one word
