There are several types of fostering and we would determine together which type of fostering you and your family would be best suited to.
Emergency:
Where children need somewhere to stay at very short notice for a few days and nights.
Short term:
Where carer(s) look after children for a few weeks or months, whilst more permanent plans are made for them.
Remand Fostering:
Where a criminal court asks the Local Authority to identify a foster placement where a young person can stay whilst they await appearance in court.
Short breaks and respite:
Where children with special needs or a disability stay with a family or carer for defined periods of time whilst their family take a break. This can be anything from an overnight stay to regular weekend breaks.
