Fostering

Make a difference to the life of a child

 

Foster Carer Recruitment Roadshow|

Monday 17 May 2010.

 

Welcome, we appreciate your interest

Sadly each year there are many children and young people in Barking and Dagenham who cannot live at home.

 

This may be for a number of reasons but in every case the Placement Team tries to find them a suitable family setting as identical to their own as possible.

 

In order to achieve this we need a constant supply of local people from all backgrounds, cultures and ethnic groups who are willing to take on the task of caring for somebody else's child.

 

There is no doubt that fostering a child or young person is a difficult task, but at the same time very rewarding.

 

If you can provide a safe, secure and loving family home environment, you could foster a child or young person.

 

If you think that that's you, we would love to hear from you.

 

We need more foster carers in Barking and Dagenham. We offer personal and professional development, support, and an excellent financial package to help foster carers.

 

Please note: The children portrayed in the photographs of this section are models and not the actual children concerned.
