What happens at Foster with North East Fostering Information Events?

It doesn't matter if you're in the early stages of your fostering journey and trying to learn more about what foster carers do or if you're ready to apply, or you could also be an existing foster carer considering a transfer to us.

Fostering information events hosted by our Foster with North East partners offer a relaxed opportunity to learn more about fostering in your local area. 

To give you a fuller picture of what life as a North East foster carer is like, and the support we can offer, foster carers and social workers will be on hand. You can chat and ask questions or just listen and arrange a one-to-one chat at a later date.

There's absolutely no pressure to sign up to start your fostering journey straight away, but the event could be the ideal way to answer some questions which may have been on your mind.

Our online information events will include an informal presentation by our expert hub team who will give you an overview of the fostering application process, the children in care and the ongoing role of a foster carer.  There may also be opportunity to hear from a foster carer about their real experiences, and there will always be opportunity for guests to ask any questions they may have.

Face-to-face sessions will be a mixture of drop-in sessions and presentation-led events - please see the events listing below to find out more about the sessions in your area.  

Some topics discussed during the session may not be suitable for younger children but please speak to our hub team for further information if you would like to bring a child or children to an event.
