Is fostering for you?
Whatever your age, ethnicity or personal circumstances, fostering could be for you. It doesn't matter if you are a home owner, tenant, or on housing benefit, as long as you can demonstrate that you can provide stability and safety to a child, then we will consider your application.We are looking for carers who can provide a child with a loving and stable environment for them to grow and develop. You will need to help them feel comfortable in your home and their surroundings.
It's important to remember that we are not simply looking for people who have had straightforward lives. We will consider your family history sympathetically. We want to know how you have dealt with difficult experiences and what you have learned. Having survived and learned from difficulties or losses is likely to be helpful in fostering children and helping those who have had their own problems.
You need time, patience, tolerance and energy. You must be able to share your home and life with others, and there's no doubt that a sense of humour goes a long way!
