Fostering - Find out more at an information event
Fostering information events update
While the developing situation regarding COVID-19 means our face to face information sessions are currently on hold - now, more than ever, we all need to work together to protect the most vulnerable children and your people in our communities.
If you are interested in finding out more about fostering with us, our friendly team are still taking calls on 0303 333 1216 or you can complete an expression of interest form on our website or send us a message via our Facebook page.
Our information events and drop-in sessions are a chance for you to come along and meet with fostering experts, including foster carers. They'll answer any questions you have and give you all the information, advice and inspiration you need.
