COULD YOU BE A FOSTER CARER?

We work with an amazing, diverse community of foster carers.

Foster carers come from a variety of backgrounds and have different life experiences, skills and qualities to meet the diverse needs of children in care. Find out more about fostering and whether you have the right qualities, experience and circumstances to foster with us…

YOU CAN FOSTER IF:

  • You want to make a positive difference to a child’s life and help them feel safe
  • You are patient, committed, empathetic and understanding
  • You can provide a settled and stable environment for a child
  • You have time, availability and practical means to support a child, such as taking them to school, to have time with their family and activities
  • You can attend training
  • You can work with professionals
  • You are full time residents in the UK or have leave to remain

AS A FOSTER CARER, YOU CAN:

  • Have your own children or have no previous parenting experience
  • Continue to work, depending on the type of fostering you want to do and the needs of the children you care for
  • Apply to foster whatever your cultural, ethnic, religious background or sexuality. However, you would need to demonstrate that you could support a child from a different background to yours
  • Be any age over 21 years, as long as you’re in good general health

PRIORITY GROUPS:

We are particularly keen to hear from people who are able to care for children from one of our priority groups, as these are the children and young people we urgently need to find homes for. Our priority groups include:

  • Brothers and sisters of all ages
  • Children over the age of 10 years and teenagers
  • Children with disabilities
  • Children with complex health and emotional needs
  • Children needing stay with their carers long term

“It’s such an amazing thing to foster
teenagers because they think people
have forgotten about them. I love
fostering them. You’ve got a definite
job to do, getting them ready for
independence and giving them life
skills. It’s just so rewarding​”
