General Directorate of Social Assistance and Child Protection Galati*

The Case Management Service for Children ensures the protection of the child who requires the establishment of a protection measure that involves raising, caring for, and educating children who are temporarily or permanently deprived of parental care, including children with special needs (children with disabilities, abused/neglected children, children with behavioral disorders, children with chronic illnesses, etc.) by a professional foster carer/family, at their home and residential services.

The professional foster carer is the natural person, certified as meeting the conditions established by law, as well as additional criteria approved by the DGASPC Galați, who, through the activity carried out at their home, ensures the raising, care, and education necessary for the harmonious development of the children they receive in foster care.

Persons residing in the territorial area of Galați County who are interested in becoming a professional foster carer submit to the General Directorate for Social Assistance and Child Protection Galați an application for evaluation of their capacity, accompanied by the documents mentioned below.

The professional foster carer certificate is valid for 3 years and is issued by the Galați Child Protection Commission.
