The fostering process

Initial contact

When you contact us, we will contact you within 2 days to give you more information about fostering.

If you meet the criteria, we will arrange to visit you at home to learn more about you and your interest in fostering. This will help you and us to decide if fostering is right for you and your family.

Following the visit, we will contact you to let you know if we would like you to continue with your enquiry and for you to let us know your decision about moving to the next stage. 

There are 2 stages to becoming a foster carer.
