Fostering People

So many people feel the way Steve and Julie do, once they start fostering. We hear often from our foster carer's that they wished they'd done it years ago. If your thinking about fostering, take that first step. 0800 077 8159.

Sara and Tammy tell us why Fostering People was the right agency for them. Find out if we're right for you too. Call us on 0800 077 8159.

This week is Family Safety week, organised by the ROSPA. They are highlighting Pedestrian Safety this year. This link to their website is very useful. With 5,838 children under the age of 15 injured in road accidents in 2017, its always worth running over the basics of road safety, especially as children reach an age of greater independence.

Happy Mother's day to all our mum's and female foster carers. Thank you very much indeed for all you do. xxx

At Fostering People, we use the PACE therapeutic model as an integral part of our support. We thought we would share this brilliant podcast that explains why children who have experienced trauma need to be parented differently, how this might show it’s self in behaviour and how to parent therapeutically.

Having a choice is really important but can be confusing. This is Heather's story.

We know that you have a lot of choice when is comes to deciding who to foster with. Steve and Julie tell us why they chose Fostering People, take that first step give us a call 0800 077 8159.

We still hear that some same sex couple think that they can't foster. This simply isn't true as Sara and Tammy tell us. If you like to know more give us a call on 0800 077 8159.

We recently held a fantastic day in the North East with our four legged friends. Children held a sponsored dog walk in aid of a local dog shelter and we also invited people along who are interested in Fostering to come along and join in, to talk to experienced foster carers. It was a great event which everyone enjoyed, especially the dogs.

We know that new applicants can feel nervous about the Fostering Panel. We’re delighted to see that all of our new carers felt welcomed.

Today we are celebrating International Women's Day. We think this quote by Barbara Streisand shows how much things have improved for women. But we know their is still a long way to go across the world for women and girls to have true equality.

Happy World Book Day. Do share with us any photos of your birth children in their costumes. But please remember, as much as we'd love to see them, we can't share photos of looked after children. #worldbookday
