Would I have a chance to meet the caregiver/s?
Absolutely! If kinship care isn’t an option, we would see if there was anyone in our pool of caregivers that could help. If so, we would give you a little information about them to see if you and your child would like to meet the prospective caregiver. Your HBFS social worker would arrange a meeting at the caregiver’s home. After this meeting your worker would see if you, your child, and the caregiver want to go ahead with the placement. We may be able to offer a different caregiver if needed, although this is not always possible.
