Circa 1962 British "public information film" (aka public service announcement) about a form of part-time foster care. Produced for the Central Office of Information. I have no idea whether this was shown on TV, in cinemas, or both.

Note: this is sometimes attributed to 1960, however since the car featured wasn't on the market until 1961, this is not possible.

Interesting to see minority representation in an early 1960s PSA.

It feels a little odd and dated, but seems kind. I'm not sure if kids were adopted from this program or if it was just an excuse to get them out of the orphanage for a while.
