When a child or young person comes into the care of the authority there are a number of possible options for where they will live. If it is not considered safe for a child or young person to remain at home or living with family anymore, then foster carers are required by the Local Authority to provide support. 

Children and young people have different care plans depending on what’s happening for them and their families. Sometimes, it’s a short-term arrangement and other times its longer term and they will remain in care until they are 18 years old.

What you can offer?

Families that Foster can offer children different types of accommodation such as emergency, respite, short term, long term, buddy or specialist.
