Futures for Children prides itself in offering carefully matched, quality foster placements with carers who are committed to helping children and young people who have been disadvantaged.

Our foster carers come from all walks of life, but all are able to provide a child with a stable and secure home environment and have the energy and enthusiasm to see a child through the ups and downs that they will face.

Futures for Children are always looking to recruit new foster carers. If you are interested in becoming a foster carer, please complete the enquiry form on this website and post it to us, and one of our social workers will be happy to contact you for an informal chat about fostering. We also have an prospectus for those who are interested in fostering, which you can download here. Alternatively, you can contact your local office directly where staff will be pleased to assist you.

Once you have received our information, should you decide that you wish to pursue a fostering career with Futures for Children, one of our social workers will visit you at home for a more in depth discussion about fostering and whether it is right for you. If you and we both agree it is, a social worker will undertake a series of visits to you and your family to complete an assessment. We would also require a number of checks to be completed, including a CRB check and personal references and we would ask you to come to some training. You would then attend our fostering panel where a recommendation would be made to the agency regarding whether you should become approved as foster carers.

We hope you are interested in fostering for Futures for Children and look forward to hearing from you.
