Can I foster?

Great! To be a foster carer you must be at least 21. Other than that age is just a number. There is no upper age limit for being a foster carer, as long as you are in good health.

Not to worry, if you’re approaching your 21st birthday, you can begin the application process now. Get in touch and speak to our team.

Superb! We require our foster children to have their own private space. Sibling groups can share a bedroom but we ask that children who aren’t related have their own room.

Ok. We require our foster children to have their own private space to help them relax and feel safe and comfortable in their new home. We understand that your living circumstances may be subject to change (particularly if you are renting), so if someone is moving out soon or you are planning to move to a bigger property and may have space for a child in the near future we’d be happy to hear from you to start you on your journey.

That’s great! At the start of your application, we will need to see your documentation.

We are sorry, at this point we can’t approve you for fostering. If your status is pending approval, get in touch with us once you have confirmation.

Great - just one last step
