We help find temporary homes for children who cannot
live with their own families because of illness, family crisis or
the risk of neglect or abuse.
We particularly need to recruit more carers for groups of
brothers and sisters, for children with disabilities and for
teenagers.
We are also looking for more foster carers who are black or of
mixed ethnicity.
There are many
different
types of fostering and we offer support and training to all our
carers who also receive an allowance to cover all the costs of
looking after a child.
If you would like to become a foster carer fill in our online
form and we can send you an information pack.
A foster carer or social worker can visit your home to talk
about fostering.
We will then invite you to a meeting to give you more details
about the next stages of fostering and you can then decide whether
you want to go ahead.
Alternatively, download our
fostering information
leaflet or foster carers support and training information
sheet for further information.
