Angus Council Fostering and Adoption

Angus Council Fostering and Adoption Angus Council Fostering and Adoption teams recruits and supports foster carers and adoptive parents for Angus's children. Call for more info.

Angus Council provides a range of services and resources to support parents to look after their own children. While our goal is to help families stay together, there are times when children and young people cannot live in their own home. Illness, unemployment and changing family circumstances can all lead to tension and stress. Sometimes parents feel unable to cope, sometimes children are neglecte

d or abused. When families are struggling sometimes they need a break from each other. In most such cases where children need to be in care, they are placed with foster carers. Children and young people of all ages need the care and support of foster carers - from babies to 18 years old. Foster carers can provide care, stability and support. This helps children and young people to grow and develop in a positive environment. Parents remain significant and important people in most children's lives and foster carers often work alongside social workers to improve the relationship between parents and their children through regular and positive contact. Some of these children and young people will return home, some will move on to a new permanent family and some will leave care to live independently in their own flat or other suitable accommodation in the community.

True or False? Foster carers receive financial support 🤔

✅ True!

Foster carers receive financial support, including an allowance to cover the costs of caring for a child, plus a fee for themselves. Fostering is all about making a positive difference in a child’s life ❤️ and financial support is there to help you provide the care and stability they need.
