The service aims to provide safe, secure, high quality care for children and young people. We believe that every child has a right to a family life. Fostering provides a positive alternative for a child until they can return home. Foster Carers in Neath Port Talbot are an essential part of the service we provide to children, young people and their families. The contribution made by all our foster carers is greatly valued and appreciated. The more foster carers we have, the more choices we can offer children and their families. Foster care can last for days, months or even, sometimes, years. Most children return home to their families but others may be fostered long-term, adopted, placed in residential care or are helped to move on to independent living. Choosing to foster is a big decision, we have hopefully provided all the necessary information that you require in order to make this decision easier.
