Fostering
The city council's fostering service is looking to recruit up to
40 new fostering households to join its existing team of skilled
and dedicated carers. Foster carers receive preparation, ongoing
supervision and generous financial support.
We appreciate that choosing to foster a
child is not a decision to be taken lightly. Many people
think about fostering for a long time before they contact us. We
hope these pages will explain the different options available to
you and help you feel more informed and ready to take the next
step.
