Fostering is... more than one pathway
Any of us could foster - there are different types of fostering to suit you, your family and your circumstances, and you can change or specialise over time: from short term, long term, emergency care, short breaks to fostering 16+.

East Sussex County Council has been celebrating #FosterCareFortnight – a national campaign recognising the amazing role of foster carers who open their hearts and homes to support local young people.
If you are aged over 21, with a spare bedroom a child or young person could call their own, you could foster. East Sussex County Council provide full, ongoing training; you don’t need specific qualifications to apply.
Yes, you can foster if you are…
• Single, retired, LGBTQ+ or follow a faith
• A pet owner
• Rent your home rather than owning it
• Unemployed or work and want to continue your career alongside fostering
• Not a parent yourself
• Registered disabled or manage a medical condition
• Specific about an age range that would fit in with your family
• Considering fostering part-time
'To know that you’ve made them feel happy and safe at a difficult time in their life, really is the best feeling' (Current ESCC Foster Carer).
