An Overview of the Fostering Process

A summary

When a child or young person’s needs or reasons for entering foster care are determined or communicated to professionals, the fostering journey begins.

Local authorities are in charge of the child or young person, and they collaborate with private fostering organisations like Beacon Fostering to find the best match and provide continuing assistance.

Understanding and acknowledging each child’s, teen’s, or young person’s unique needs is crucial. This enables them to flourish, accomplish, and grow as people in a secure and caring setting.

Learning about all things fostering

Fostering is the process of caring for and supporting children or young people who, for a variety of reasons, are unable to live with their biological parents.

These could include the child or young person’s difficult behaviors, the parents’ struggles in life, or other safeguarding issues. For either short-term or long-term care, the child or young person is placed with an authorized foster family.

When you begin your foster care journey or are an experienced foster carer seeking to transfer, Beacon Fostering offers you all the assistance, education, and dedication you need to be a foster carer.
