Different types of fostering

Children are looked after by Children's Services for many different reasons and will have different needs due to their unique experiences. Some children will have suffered neglect and abuse, some may have behaviour that is difficult to manage. What all the children have in common is that they are not able to live with their families. With this in mind, we have developed a number of different fostering schemes designed to meet the needs of our looked after children.

We have a range of foster care schemes to best suit our looked after children's needs, meaning you can choose a scheme to best suit you.

See the links below for an outline of the different schemes we have, but if you'd like to talk any of them through with the family placement team, please give us a call on 0161 799 1268.

You can also try our fostering quiz to see what type of fostering may best suit you and your family.
