What is care?
Living in care is when you live away from your parents. You could live:
- with foster carers.
- with other family members.
- in a children’s home.
- in a residential school.
- semi-independently with our support.
Rhondda Cynon Taf (RCT) council is responsible for making sure you have somewhere safe to live.
Why have I come into care?
There are many different reasons for coming into care. For example:
- Your family cannot look after you at the moment.
- Things are difficult at home.
- To keep you safe.
Your Social Worker can tell you why you’ve come into care.
