As more vulnerable children and young people come into care each year, foster carers from all walks of life are needed to provide a loving and stable home for them when they need it the most.
Our foster carers do an incredible job protecting, supporting and caring for children, helping them achieve their potential and are the best they can be.
Working in partnership
Our Fostering team works with Foster with West London, who manage all enquiries, recruitment and assessment activities on our behalf.
Foster with West London brings together the 8 west London local authorities, working as 1 regional fostering service to recruit more foster carers and help give local children the safe and stable homes they need.

Private fostering
Private fostering is when a child or young person under the age of 16 (or under 18 if they have a disability) is cared for, and provided with accommodation for 28 days or more, by an adult who is not a close relative. Close relatives include aunts, uncles, step-parents, grandparents, siblings and step-siblings.
