Will training be provided?

Training is compulsory for all foster carers and all applicants will be asked to complete a fostering induction course prior to approval as a foster carer.

Throughout your time as a foster carer various training courses will be offered to you and we hope you will find these courses both interesting and enjoyable.

Are there any medical conditions which prevent me from fostering?
