Find the right style of foster care for you.

We offer many different types of foster care placements to meet the ever-changing needs of children and young people in foster care across the UK. Find out more about all the types of foster care placements we offer and how you can make a difference.

Types of foster care

Parent & child fostering

Foster parents provide a home to a young expectant mum or a vulnerable parent and their young child – not just to keep them safe, but to help them develop their parenting skills - and typically last around 12 weeks.

Parent & child fostering

Short-term fostering

Short-term care can be anything from a night or two, a couple of weeks, and up to two years. In many cases, this will be just as long as it takes to get the child back safely together with their birth family or moved into a long-term foster placement, but there are other reasons too.

Short term fostering

Long-term fostering

Long-term foster placements provide children and young people with a stable, loving family home environment with a dedicated foster parent for at least 2 years, and often until the young person turns eighteen.
