Fostering and Kinship Services
Making the decision to foster a child is one of the
biggest, but one of the most rewarding decisions anyone can make.
We know that caring for children is a tremendously important task
and we aim to guide you through the journey you will take if you
decide you want to foster a child.
The best part about fostering is knowing that you are making a
positive difference to a child or young person’s life. You will be
helping them to build a better future, by providing care and
support at a time when they need it most. Being a foster carer is
no easy task; children can be distressed, demanding and despondent.
They are likely to have complex histories and to have come from
troubled backgrounds.
