Specialist schemes

Foster care is as varied as the children and young people who need care.

In addition to mainstream fostering there a range of other types of fostering you could provide if you have the appropriate skills, knowledge and experience.

Fostering Plus
Fostering children with disabilities

These schemes might not be suitable for all carers, but we know that many people excel when faced with a more challenging type of fostering.

If you do decide that working with children with disabilities or with older children who are experiencing difficulties in their lives could be for you, we are there to help you every step of the way.

We provide full training and the dedicated support of a social worker, along with many professionals involved in childcare. We would also supply any equipment you might need and provide a higher level of fees and allowances.
