Find out if you could be a foster carer
In a few simple questions, you’ll know if you’re suitable to apply to become a foster carer.
Thursday 24 March 2016
The National Fostering Agency is delighted to be supporting Fostering February, a campaign aiming to raise awareness about what foster caring involves, alongside dispelling some of the myths and misconceptions which surrounds it.
No matter where you are in the country, there is someone near you making a difference to children and young people’s lives by offering them the love and everyday human needs they deserve- things which most of us take for granted.
So why couldn’t it be you? Fostering February is all about learning more about the facts and becoming properly informed on how to become a foster carer; for example, did you know you don’t need to own your own home or be married to become a carer?
If you are thinking about life as a foster carer, the campaign takes time to answer your questions, and pushes to find out if you could make an amazing difference on a young person’s passage to adulthood
We are holding a number of special Fostering February events over the next few weeks and we welcome anyone interesting in fostering to come meet us.
