Family and friends fostering

Some people with a direct relationship with a child in care are able to be approved as 'family and friends' foster carers.

The child's social worker will be the first person you should talk to about this if you know of a child you are close to who you would like to be considered for.

We also have a family and friends fostering team who assess and support approved family and friends foster carers. There is more detail about this type of fostering in the Children's Services Procedures Manual.

We'd love to hear from you!
