Foster carers play an extremely important role, providing much needed support and security for often very vulnerable children and enabling their successful transition into independent adult life. Fostering is a challenging role and requires skills and dedication. We want to encourage more people to become foster carers and make sure that they have the support and skills to meet the varied and complex needs of looked after children.
We have worked with the sector to develop a Fostering Information Exchange where everyone involved or interested in foster care can share practice; explore ideas; discuss issues or new developments and access resources from the sector. Click on the button below to find out more.
