FtSE Member News: Team Fostering - LGBT Fostering Week

7/3/2016

 
Picture
Often people rule themselves out of fostering due to assumptions about their age, household and also sexuality. The truth is that our foster carers come have a range of different backgrounds and it’s these life experiences which are valuable to help them to become a good foster carer.

LGBT carers often have a lot of life experience overcoming adversity, and this experience can be very valuable when looking after and a child or young person and helping them deal with difficulties in their own life. The ability to do this as a foster carer is extremely rewarding and an excellent alternative to parenting for a LGBT person or couple.

Our foster carers look after children and young people aged 0-18 with a range of different needs. As a foster carer for Team Fostering you will be provided with the relevant training and support to equip you with the tools to meet these needs and work towards the best outcomes for a child or young person in your care.

Our excellent support package is available so that you know a Social Worker will be on hand day or night, and our generous fees provide you with an income and allowances to care for a child or young person.  

If you would like to know more about fostering for Team Fostering please get in touch with us by making an enquiry on our website or calling your local office. You’re under no obligation to apply as often getting in touch is a good way to have those questions answered and find out whether fostering is right for you.
