What is Fostering?

Fostering is a form of childcare where a child lives with a family other than their own, often on a temporary basis.

It's a crucial service that supports children who are unable to live with their birth parents due to various reasons, such as neglect, abuse, or parental illness.

Foster care aims to provide a stable and loving environment for the child while working towards a long-term solution, which may include reunification with their family, adoption, or long-term foster care
