Why Foster?

Children and young people in the care system are particularly vulnerable and Foster Carers can help them to feel safe, secure, protected and loved. By offering a safe and nurturing home, you’ll help them to develop and reach their full potential. Whether they stay with you for a few days or more permanently, fostering can have a positive impact on a child or young person’s life.

By becoming a Foster Carer, you will join a team of professionals, which offers you the chance to gain new knowledge and skills. You will undertake a wide range of training opportunities including Safeguarding and Child Protection, First Aid, Internet Safety and more. This will help you in your fostering career as well as providing transferable skills.
