Fostering Inspections
We like you to know that almost everyone is eligible to foster there are a few criteria we take into consideration:
- Be over 21 years old
- Have a spare room
- No offences against children
- Have the time and availability to dedicate to fostering
- Be committed to on-going training and development
- Have a resilient yet caring personality
- And most of all a sense of humour!
As we deal with a wide range of children and young people, we aim to place children with foster carers who are best suited to meet the individual needs of children and young people. A huge part of what we do is centred around making sure both the foster child and foster family are supported with everything they need such as therapists or counsellors that specialise in behavioural and identity issues and also a team to support the foster parents. There a more in-depth look at what you need to know about fostering in Nottingham on our website.
