Who can foster?
We NEED foster carers from a variety of backgrounds. It is extremely important that we have different types of carers so we can place children with families who share their own culture, language and religion. You can be considered for fostering if you are:
|
Single – male or female, with or without children |
|
Living with a partner or married, with or without children |
|
Divorced |
|
From any ethnic, religious, linguistic and cultural background |
|
Disabled person |
|
A couple of the same gender |
|
Working full/part time or currently unemployed |
It also doesn’t matter whether you own or rent your home. We are just interested in what you can bring to a child’s life. Ultimately it is your enthusiasm and willingness to make a commitment to fostering which makes a difference.
If you have criminal convictions you will need to tell us. To protect foster children from harm, there are offences that would bar you from fostering. For more information on this, contact the Fostering team on 01656 642349.
