Children's & Youth Rights in Foster Care covers the rights every child and young person holds while in foster care. Children don't lose their rights when they come into care — they keep their dignity, their voice, their connections, and their right to be safe and treated well, and foster parents and agency staff are responsible for protecting them. This course covers children's rights in foster care, the right to safety and good treatment, voice and participation, connection to family and culture, education and health, normalcy and the reasonable and prudent parent standard, privacy and belongings, and how to support a child in exercising their rights and raising concerns. It connects rights to trauma-informed, person-centered care. The throughline: a child in foster care is a whole person with rights, not a case. Honoring their rights — to safety, voice, connection, and a normal childhood — is how foster care heals rather than harms.
