Question: What should foster care facilities be doing to keep your children safe

Answer passage (source: UK):
page_title: Guidance Safe working in education, childcare and children’s social care settings, including the use of personal protective equipment (PPE)
section_headers: What care should be taken in early years settings?
section_content: Because it is challenging to reduce contact between young children in early
years settings, regular cleaning and disinfection of surfaces, objects and
toys, as well as handwashing, are particularly important. The use of soft toys
and toys with intricate parts or that are otherwise hard to clean should be
avoided. Read guidance on cleaning for non-healthcare
settings.
Settings should manage risks by keeping children in small groups and trying,
as far as possible, to keep the same children and staff members together from
day to day. Settings should consider staggering mealtimes and should
discourage parents and carers from gathering at setting entrances. As far as
possible, parents and carers should not enter early years premises.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
It provides a lot of helpful advice. It's about preventing kids from getting the virus.
This answer is irrelevant to the question. This answer contains information on cleaning guide and risks management in early years settings. It does not contain information on how to keep children safe in foster care facilities as asked in the question.

page_title: Guidance Safe working in education, childcare and children’s social care settings, including the use of personal protective equipment (PPE)
section_headers: What care should be taken in foster care settings?
section_content: Foster homes in which no one is showing symptoms of coronavirus should respond
to coronavirus like any other domestic household. This should not prevent the
delivery of care to children.
If foster carers are caring for a child who develops symptoms of coronavirus,
their fostering service should:

assess the ability of the carer to continue to deliver care to the child
ensure the foster home follows the guidance for households to avoid the spread of infection
consult the foster carer on how best to protect themselves and the child

If foster carers develop symptoms of coronavirus, their fostering service
should:

assess the ability of the carer to continue to deliver care to the child
ensure the foster home follows the guidance for households to avoid the spread of infection
if additional support is needed for the carer or child, ensure that staff providing this care are provided with PPE prior to entering the home and follow the guidance below on home visiting

Foster carers are able to request PPE from their fostering service provider,
if needed, in line with guidance for local authorities on children’s social
care.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
It specifically talks about foster care facilities. It provides both proactive and reactive tips.
This is not a direct answer to the question. For home without covid-19 case, the answer only provides recommendation to respond to coronavirus like other domestic household, however it does not provide any guide or explanation on how this should be done or how to keep the children safe from Covid-19. For home with covid-19 cases, however, the answer provides information on what the fostering service has to do to avoid the spread of infection and to best protect the carers and the children.

page_title: Guidance Safe working in education, childcare and children’s social care settings, including the use of personal protective equipment (PPE)
section_headers: What care should be taken in residential settings, including residential schools, residential special schools and children’s care homes?
section_content: Residential settings in which no one is showing symptoms should respond to
coronavirus like any other domestic household. However, it is important that
soft toys are not shared between children.
Where a child in a residential setting develops symptoms of coronavirus:

staff can continue to enter and leave the home as required, consistent staff rotas should be used where possible and staff should follow good infection prevention control
the isolation guidance for residential settings should be followed
staff should wear PPE for activities requiring close contact
staff should adhere to social distancing guidelines as far as they are able to, but should take account of children’s emotional needs

*[PPE]: personal protective equipment

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
It only provides advice for what to do when a child already has the virus.
This does not answer the question. The question is asking for information for foster care facilities. However, this answer provides information for residential settings.
