Could you change a future?
The decision to become a foster carer can take a lot of careful thought, consideration and research. There are many different types of fostering that foster carers can choose to specialise in, short term or long term. Children may need foster care from the moment they are born, and some children stay in care up to the age of 18 and beyond.
Brighton and Hove City Council need foster carers for children under 5, school aged children, siblings, teenagers and young refugees.
The Fostering Team will help you to explore which type of fostering will be most suited to you and they offer a range of training and wraparound support.
Foster carers from all walks of life are encouraged to step forward. Cathy Seiderer, the council’s Fostering Recruitment and Assessment Manager, says: “We have a wonderful community of fantastic foster carers and we want to reach out and appeal to the whole community of Brighton and Hove and surrounding areas to encourage them to find out more about fostering for their local authority. You really can make such a difference to a young person’s life. We are proud of our fostering community and we strive to create the very best experiences, support and training for our foster carers so they in turn can provide the most loving, stable and supportive homes for our children.”
