Foster Carer

As well as offering a safe, loving and nurturing home, being a foster carer is about helping children and young people to thrive. This means advocating and caring for children, being someone that they can trust and talk to, being someone who will support their educational, health and social wellbeing, and who will celebrate their achievements with them.

There are many different types of foster care, which each bring different responsibilities.

* Some foster carers look afterchildren forall their childhood until they become adults known as *long term fostering.*
