What types of fostering are there?
Foster care is as varied as the children, young people and families who need your help.
Whatever the age of the child, the length of placement or the number of children you have the space and ability to care for; there will be a type of fostering which suits your personal circumstances best.
We appreciate that choosing to foster is not a decision to be taken lightly and we hope that the different options described within this section will inform you sufficiently to take the next step to deciding which type of fostering you may be able to pursue.
