If you have enquired to foster with us and have passed the initial enquiry stage, you will be invited to take part in the Skills To Foster course to prepare you to become a foster carer.
Skills To Foster is a pre-approval fostering course. It is a course compulsory for all new applicants to take part in to prepare them for the challenges that come with fostering.
It covers the practical, day-to-day skills all foster carers need.
There is an assessment at the end of the course to make sure you understand what you have learnt and are ready to take the next step to becoming a foster carer.
* All our carers are paid above the Fostering Network Payment Guidelines.
(made to each fostering household with a placement).
