Will anything stop me from fostering?

  • No spare room
  • Certain medical conditions (please contact us if you’ve got questions about this)
  • Certain, but not all, criminal convictions. See our FAQs.

 

De-bunk some common myths about fostering…

  • You don’t need to have had your own children
  • You don’t need to own your own home
  • You can be straight, gay, married, in a partnership or single
  • You can be from any background, race or religion
  • There is no upper-age limit. Many of our carers are retired.
  • You don’t need to have any professional qualifications
  • What you don’t know, we’ll teach you!

 

Do you have enough time in your day?

The primary carer in a fostering household needs to be available for the child. If you want to offer foster care but you work full- or part-time, we can discuss various options with you. Call us on 01275 888 999.

Of course, we ask that you only apply if you’re genuinely interested in helping children and young people.
