Childcare workers have a legal duty of care to keep children safe. This duty originated from a 1932 UK court case where a woman found snails in her ginger beer and sued. The court established the concept of duty of care, where people in positions of responsibility have an obligation to protect those under their care. For childcare workers, this means they must comply with regulations and agreements to care for children appropriately. Breaching this duty, through negligent actions, could result in legal damages if a child is injured as a result. Childcare workers owe the highest duty of care to young children due to their vulnerability.

What’s Involved with Aging-Out of the Foster Care System? The Big Picture: Tr...Elizabeth E. Brait
This document provides an overview of the Adoption and Safe Families Act (ASFA) of 1997 and how it affects permanency planning for teenagers in foster care. ASFA prioritizes child safety and requires expedited timelines for permanency hearings and termination of parental rights proceedings. It recognizes adoption, kinship care, and subsidized permanent legal custody as permanency options. However, long-term foster care is supposed to be temporary under ASFA. Research shows many youths who age out of foster care face negative outcomes. Barriers to permanency for teenagers include prioritizing it less due to their development stage, and using sequential rather than concurrent case management.
