Can you provide a child with a safe, warm, caring, stable and loving home for as long as they need it? Every week about 20 children and young people need foster carers.
We give our approved carers
New foster carers will have the support of
• a foster care academy
• Lancashire's fostering mentoring scheme
• Lancashire's fostering communities project
We have a moral as well as legal responsibility for the children we look after so you can be sure that we will find you the most suitable match to ensure you can meet the child's individual needs. Unlike some independent fostering agencies, we are not for profit so you can be sure that our foster carers have excellent support and training to meet the needs of the children.
