What is fostering?

As all children are different the reasons why they need to be with foster carers can be different. It can range from a child needing somewhere to go at the weekend when the parent is in hospital or to a short-term placement when the family is in difficulty or a more permanent placement supporting the child onto independence.

Fostering can be challenging and demanding but it can also be enjoyable and extremely rewarding. Our priority is always about getting the right match to meet the needs of both the child and the carer. A foster carers role is to work alongside the local authority in supporting the child to achieve their full potential in a safe, secure and stable home; this can be on a respite, short-term or long-term basis.
