Who needs foster care?

Related Pages

Children who need foster carers vary in age from babies to teenagers; they have a variety of needs. Children need to be looked after for all sorts of reasons, their parents may have mental health problems or issues concerning drug and alcohol misuse.

There may be violence in the family and children could have been hurt or abused. Many of the children have been through difficult and distressing experiences and will need your time and support in adjusting to ordinary family life.

We particularly need foster carers who could look after teenagers or family groups of brothers and sisters.
