Hammersmith and Fulham LSCP have a long established relationship with our bi-borough colleagues in Kensington and Chelsea and Westminster.
We have an agreement to share our learning and development resources with them and this is not going to change currently. This means that our partners in different organisations in Hammersmith & Fulham can still access all the training opportunities available here: LSCP safeguarding children training

Resources
Private fostering
If you are looking after someone else’s child aged under 16 (under 18, if disabled) full-time for 28 days or more, and you are not the step-parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle, brother or sister of that child, then you may be a ‘private foster carer’. The law says you must tell your local council if you care for a child under a private fostering arrangement. It is not private fostering if the arrangement was made by social services.
For more information and for examples of private fostering situations see private fostering
