News dated
On 18 September, Turin announced increases of 10–21% in foster-care contributions, depending on the arrangement, and an agreement with the local health authority. The changes take effect in November 2026. [1]
Fostering provides temporary care. The child’s and family’s needs determine whether this involves living with carers or receiving daytime support. [2]
The municipal Casa dell’affidamento offers information meetings, preparation and assessment for prospective carers, as well as support meetings for existing carers. The process involves ongoing guidance alongside personal commitment. [3]
The bright side
A public service already helps people understand fostering and supports them along the way: the Casa dell’affidamento. [3]
One idea, in simple words
From November, Turin will increase financial support for foster carers. The decision was announced on 18 September: the new amounts have not taken effect yet. [1]
What does fostering mean? A child stays with other people for a time, or receives help during the day. The kind of support depends on the child’s needs and those of their family. There is no single answer that suits everyone. [2]
Interested adults can meet staff at the Casa dell’affidamento, a city service. For example, someone thinking about fostering can start by asking questions. The service prepares and assesses prospective carers, and supports people already caring for a child. [3]
