During Foster and Kinship Carer Week, the Department for Child Protection will say thank you to our amazing foster and kinship carers by having a range of activities throughout the week.

Activities include:

• Local events and celebrations across the state
• Thank you to our carers display in the Gallery, Ground Floor, 31 Flinders Street, Adelaide.

We will also be sharing some inspiring stories about our wonderful carers, and you’ll be able to catch up on these stories on the DCP Facebook page.

South Australian foster and kinship carer agencies will also be hosting events around the state.
