I don’t know a lot about fostering. I have never been in foster care, and I don’t think anyone I know has ever been in foster care. What I do know is that the opportunities that long and short term care foster carers provide can make a world of difference to children who find themselves in need.
UK Fostering are calling out as they are desperate for more carers to take on the role of foster carer as there are sadly just too many children who need somewhere to stay and someone to care.
Fostering can work in a variety of different ways, from short term care to longer placements and the reasons for someone in need requiring somewhere safe to stay can vary wildly. I could list examples but what I’d rather do is give you information from UK Fostering which better explains the process and urge you to consider whether fostering is for you.
If you can help you could make a significant difference to a vulnerable child who just needs someone to reach out to them.
For more information on what UK Fostering do and how the whole process works please visit the website.
