Fostering in Merseyside

Based in North West England, Merseyside is an urbanised ceremonial county and is home to many families. When children need short-term or long-term foster care in Merseyside, experienced agencies work to place them with caring foster families in the area. As a result, there is always a high demand for foster carers committed to the best interests and needs of young people and children who require a nurturing home.

First-time fosterers receive a warm welcome

Whether you live in Liverpool, Birkenhead or Southport, if you’ve never fostered but want to apply, we’re ready to help. When you’ve researched what’s involved in fostering and feel sure it’s right for you, we’ll support you at each step of the process; however, if you’re an absolute beginner, we’re here for you too. If you have no knowledge of foster care and how it works, you’ll find we’re a font of useful knowledge that can get you started on the right foot.

Experienced foster carers seeking transfers

Our fostering agency offers carers complete support around the clock and access to a friendly network designed to nurture their foster care journey. If you seek to transfer to us from another agency, we’ll make your move smooth and stress-free while giving you access to all the training you require to help the child in your care and to succeed in your role.

Who can be a foster carer?

To foster with us you’ll need to be 21 or over, but there isn’t an upwards cap on age if you’re fit and healthy. To foster, you’ll need a spare room in your house you can give to the young person or child you look after and be dedicated to answering their individual needs.

We believe that to thrive, foster care families require sufficient means to perform their role. To this end, we offer generous pay rates that exceed those recommended by the Government for those fostering.
