LookedAfterChild

For foster carers, made by a foster carer

The child’s story, written down well. In less time.

LookedAfterChild helps you keep the daily records your fostering service needs, and a memories bible the child can keep, without the paperwork taking over your evenings.

Sam

Sam had fish fingers for tea and asked for seconds. We built a den in the living room and he read me a story about a fox. Bath, two stories, asleep by 7:30 with the landing light on.

✓ Spelling checked (UK English) ✓ Written in Sam’s own words where it matters
From his uncleWaiting for you

We fed the ducks and he laughed at the big white one…

AcceptSend back
An example record with spelling checked, and a record from a family member waiting for the carer to accept it. Made-up example.

Built around a carer’s day

Quick, good daily records

Tap “breakfast”, “nursery”, “bedtime” to start a sentence, then add what matters. Gentle prompts help you write what your supervising social worker needs to read.

A checker that knows fostering

UK spelling and grammar, plus friendly nudges: use the child’s name, keep facts and feelings apart, note who you told and when.

A memories bible for the child

First words, school certificates, the day at the seaside. Kept safe so the child has their story, whatever happens next.

Family can write too

When an uncle or a respite carer looks after the child, they can write how it went. Nothing goes into the record until you’ve read it and accepted it.

Shared with the right people

The child’s social worker sees what they should. Health and sensitive records are marked as such. Young people can see their own records when they turn 18.

Private by design

Built for UK data protection, to be hosted in the UK. No adverts, no tracking, and we never sell data.

For fostering services and councils

LookedAfterChild is free for carers. Fostering services pay for the parts that matter to them: secure storage, data governance and oversight.

  • Children registered by social workers and approved by team managers
  • Access by role: carer, child’s social worker, supporting social worker, team manager
  • Guest care periods, with social worker approval for overnight stays
  • Records that are clear, dated and consistent across your carers
