Explain the purpose of a placement

Use the reason and notes fields for context such as recovery after surgery or socialisation. This helps your team understand the care each placement is intended to provide.

Keep foster carers in your contacts

Use contact records for carers so their phone numbers and other details are available to your team. Select the existing carer when creating a placement instead of re-entering their details.
