Welcome to your local council’s fostering support hub

We’re here to answer all your questions about fostering with your local council and the application process. If you're ready to become a foster carer, you can complete our fostering enquiry form. For more information on fostering, explore our website.

Our team are available 7 days a week. They can help you with fostering allowances, training for foster carers, and ongoing support provided by your local council.

There are hundreds of children in need of safe, loving homes in our region, including babies, children, teenagers and groups of siblings. By becoming a foster carer, you can make a life-changing difference to vulnerable children in your community.

Fostering is a significant decision, and we’re here to guide you through each step of the journey. From answering your initial fostering questions to supporting your foster care application and providing essential training for foster carers, we’re with you all the way.
