Understanding your child’s placement

Several professionals are on hand to help you:

• If your child is in a residential home, the care team and your child’s key worker are important. The Child Protection Officer at the SPMi can also answer your questions.
• If your child has been placed with a foster family, the Child Protection Officer will be your main point of contact.

The judge in charge of your child’s case may allow you to attend a hearing. If necessary, you can also write to them.

To take care of your child, you also need to take care of yourself: you may find a social worker, your doctor, a psychologist or other professional helpful.
