You And The Child
We take care in matching you and the child, as the better the match, the more successful the outcome will be for all concerned.
Multicultural Britain
The UK is now a multicultural society which means that ethnicity, background, language and religion often play a big part in deciding the best match. Your relationship with, and understanding of, the child may be better when your ethnicity and background match the child’s. Equally, the type or location of your home and your lifestyle might favour one type of placement over another.
Understanding the needs of the child
We are always looking for new foster carers from a wide range of backgrounds to ensure we can achieve the best match for the child. We expect all carers, whatever their background and experience, to be able to show understanding and sensitivity to the social, cultural and practical issues that need to be dealt with in any placement.
