The Role of a Foster Carer

Foster caring is the process of providing a safe, stable, and nurturing home for children and young people who are unable to live with their birth families. This may be due to a range of reasons, including family crisis, neglect, or abuse.

Foster carers offer vital support during what can be a challenging time in a child’s life. Whether it’s for a few days, months, or even years, foster carers play a key role in helping children feel secure, valued, and supported. Every fostering experience is different, but all foster carers share a commitment to making a positive difference.

At Quality Fostering, we work closely with carers and local authorities to ensure each placement is well matched, and that both the carer and the child receive the support they need to thrive.
