As every child is different, so are our foster carers.
Anyone over the age of 21 can foster, providing they are
able to give a local child a secure and caring home and you must have a spare
bedroom as all our children need a bedroom of their own.
You can be married, in a civil partnership, in a settled
relationship or not met a partner yet.
Our children come from all backgrounds so our carers need to
reflect this. We welcome applications from people of all religions,
ethnic backgrounds and cultures.
Recently we have had retired people, those who have worked in
schools and care, ex-policemen, military personnel and stay at home mums all
approved to be foster carers for us.
We look for people who have experience of listening to
children, either in their work or home, the confidence to handle difficult
situations and the flexibility to try out new things.
