According to statistics, approximately two-thirds of children and young people in need of care are placed in foster homes, with the remaining one-third living with At any given time, Local Authorities are responsible for about 60,000 children and young people. In any given year, the overall number of children and young people cared for by the state reaches around 300,000, and the number appears to be rising each year.
Foster carers are in high demand across the United Kingdom.
Up to 10,000 more foster carers are required to ensure that children and young people who need foster homes have an opportunity to benefit from living within a stable, safe and nurturing family environment. You don’t need to have any particular academic or vocational qualifications, but having experience of caring for or working with children or young people really helps.
We recognize that caring for children and young people who are unable to live with their families is a special task. Making a positive difference in a child's or young person's life is a beautiful and gratifying experience, but it can also be difficult and demanding.
Foster carers must collaborate with a variety of persons who are involved in the child's or young person's life, including birth parents, extended family members, social workers, health workers, educational staff, and a number of other professions.
Fostering is a significant responsibility. It will have implications for you and your entire family. As a result, it is critical to learn everything you can and spend time discussing the options with your entire family so that you can make the best decision possible at the appropriate time for the right reasons.
The Agency's goal is to assist placement authorities in fulfilling their responsibilities to improve children's well-being in respect to the Five Outcomes for Children.
