A foster family for five siblings

We are seeking an urgent foster placement(s) for a sibling group in the north west of the country. All siblings are keen to stay together as a family unit in the north west of the country, if possible, to stay connected to their schools and community. We hope to find a long-term placement with a family where they can stay together or alternatively two separate families who would be willing to provide a loving home to a smaller sibling group.

The siblings range from 6 years to 16 years of age. We are looking for families that can support these children to develop independent skills in a safe and caring home environment. They would benefit from a nurturing foster family who can provide stability and reassurance.

All of the children are in school and have good attendance. They are all quiet and a little shy and would benefit from support and encouragement to help develop their social skills. They need patient carers who can guide them to build their self-confidence and give them the opportunity to explore their interests and develop their talents.

The children would do well in a supportive foster home where they could feel secure and encouraged and maintain family connections.
