Abstract: Fostercare as children's social care policy, is regulated in Greece by the
provisions of the Civil Code and by the Presidential Decree 86/2009 as well.
In particular, the p.d. 86/2009 includes the procedure of children’s placement
into foster families, in case that they cannot live with their birth families or
live already in Institutions.µhis book presents the basic Family Law concepts,
the legislation that applies for children’s foster care policy, the historical and
legal evolution of that social care policy and the way it can be implemented by
Institutions or Public Social Services, having as priority that children remain the
least possible time in closed care Institutions.
