- 01Nope! You don’t need any special qualifications; just some experience with children is a great foundation, along with the passion to make a difference in a young person’s life.
- 02From babies to teens, even parents with their own child. Every child is different, but they all need love, safety, and support.
- 03We’ll work with you to make sure any child placed with you fits well with your family, especially if you have children of your own.
- 04Yes, lots of our carers do! It depends on your job, but we’ll chat about how fostering could fit with your working hours.
- 05You’ll never be left on your own. You’ll have a social worker to support you, plus access to a 24/7 support line, every day of the year.
- 06It’s a chance for us to get to know each other. An assessor will visit you a few times and write a report about your life and home. We also do background checks, but don’t worry, we’ll guide you through the whole process.
- 07Definitely. We run support groups, events, and training where you can chat and share experiences. You can even be matched with a peer mentor.
- 08We get it, sometimes things don’t go to plan. If that happens, we’ll support you and the child to make any changes as smoothly as possible.
- 09Yes, you’ll never be forced to say yes to supporting a child or young person. We’ll always talk to you first and give you all the info before any decision is made.
- 10You’ll have a named social worker, regular check-ins, 24/7 support, and access to ongoing training. You’re never on your own.
- 11Yes, and it’s great! You’ll start with preparation training, then continue learning as you go, with workshops, online courses and more.
- 12Nope. Renting is fine! You just need permission from your landlord and a stable tenancy. The child will need their own bedroom.
- 13Not at all. But if you’ve got experience with children, even through work, that’s a big plus.
- 14Lots! Long-term, short-term, emergency, parent and child placements, and support for children with disabilities.
- 15Nope. Single, married, living with a partner, civil partnership, what matters is that you can offer a safe, loving home.
- 16There’s no upper age limit. If you’re over 21 and healthy enough to care for a child, you’re good to go.
- 17You need to be a British citizen or have Indefinite Leave to Remain, so the child’s home life stays stable and secure.
