The manager of the Foster Care Unit at the Children’s Authority of Trinidad and Tobago is raising a red flag over the low rate of applicants for foster care.
“We’ve really taken a dip,” Anjuli Tewari told Guardian Media in an interview to mark the launch of Adoption and Foster Care Awareness Month last week. Tewari revealed that there are currently 164 children in foster care. Of these, 53 are placed with relatives under the authority’s Kinship Care Programme.
