Is my family ready?

We know that fostering is a big step for any family. If you're considering fostering, you'll want to involve all members of the household in deciding if and when you're ready to progress. You can prepare to become a fostering family by talking about what fostering is and what it involves, how it changes lives and what changes it might mean for you as a family. You should also talk about how the needs of your children will be considered throughout the approval process.  Our Foster with North East hub team and your assessing social worker will be on-hand to offer guidance throughout.
