Criteria For Becoming A Foster Carer
Who can foster?
Fostering should be inclusive and diverse and anyone can have the potential to be a foster carer. When it comes to becoming a foster carer, it’s truly your individual traits that matter. You’ll require a lot of stamina, endurance, and patience!
What is the key criteria for becoming a foster carer?
- You are required to have at least one spare bedroom in your house.
- You need to be aged 21+
- Have the compassion, energy and love to care for a child.
If you have all three of these, then you have potential to be a great foster carer and you should consider fostering as an option. In May, during Foster Care Fortnight, an alarming statistic was raised suggesting that there is a shortage of 6500 foster carers across the UK. At Beacon Fostering, we are recruiting foster carers to create brighter futures for many children and young people.
