Bromley resident parent(s)/carer(s) should complete all sections of the Bromley application for the relevant application process.
Only applications from a person who is legally responsible for the applicant child will be accepted.

Private fostering arrangements must be registered with Bromley Children’s Social Care.
In cases of parents living separately but with a shared care arrangement, the child’s principal address must be used. A residence order and other legal documents will be required. Bromley will only accept the permanent home address of the child and cannot use multiple address.
