How do you decide which children may be placed with me as a Foster Carer?

Matching children with foster carers is a thoughtful process.

We consider your strengths as a carer, the needs of the child or young person, and what will provide the most stable and supportive placement.

Every match is made carefully to ensure the best possible outcome for the child.

In some cases, LGBTQIA+ young people may be placed with carers who can provide an affirming and understanding environment, as feeling accepted can make a meaningful difference to their wellbeing.
