Step 4: Take part in an assessment

If you would like to progress, then an assessment is conducted as part of this process. As a foster care agency, we understand that not all situations are the same, so when making an assessment, our staff will review your suitability on an individual basis. The assessment process usually consists of several meetings with key members of your family, specifically those who would be involved in the care of the child or young person.

Step 5: Get ready

If your assessment is successful, additional training is offered to suit your needs. This training is decided on an individual basis to make sure we fully meet your needs in preparing you to become a foster carer.
