Fostering
Fostering, it’s not a well known subject
but it is a fascinating one. If you’re interested in becoming a
foster carer, you’ll soon realise that there are a lot more options
available to you than you probably think. Fostering is where people
like you provide a caring and safe environment for children and
young people, including those who have disabilities and/or challenging
behaviour. This can be done on a full or part-time basis and ranges
from day or weekend care to a few months or even a permanent basis.
We appreciate that choosing to foster
a child is not a decision to be taken lightly and we hope that the
different options described in this website will inform you sufficiently
to take the next step. We’ll be with you all the way, offering help,
encouragement, support and guidance, assisting you through every
aspect of the application process, ensuring that you make the right
decision.
