We know that the decision to become a foster carer involves the whole family. Children have to share their parents, their home and their toys with children coming into the home, as well as sometimes having to cope with some difficult and challenging behaviours. Despite these challenges, many children of foster carers say that being part of a foster family has had a positive impact on them, and helped them to understand others better and to have more empathy with people in different situations.

As a Service, we are really pleased to announce that we launched a new group on Saturday 28 January for your children to attend on a monthly basis. The aim of this is for the children of foster carers to have the opportunity to meet and socialise with other children who share similar experiences. This will also provide peer support for the children of foster carers and hopefully they will have some fun. The group is split into two different ages, 5-9 years one month and 10-17 the following month. By attending this group, it gives us the chance to meet and get to know your children and hear how we can help support them within the fostering family.
