What is a foster carer?
Foster carers take someone else's child into their home and look after them until they are able to return to their own family or are ready to move on.
There's no such thing as a typical foster carer - they come from all walks of life and all sorts of backgrounds.
You can foster with us in lots of different ways, from providing a few days or care including weekends or emergency stays, to long term placements where you provide care for a few years.
Whichever way you foster, it means everything to us and the children in your care, and we're always on hand to offer help and support.
