Family and Care
What does this mean?

It’s your right to live with your family, unless it is bad for you.
If you’re not able to live with your family, you should stay with a family who can care for you, like a foster care family.
Being with a family that cares for you can help you grow and feel safe.
EXAMPLE: It is your parent’s job to keep you safe and help you grow. It is the Government’s job to help your parents do this.
