Parent and Child Fostering
Could you become a foster carer for a parent and child?
This type of care usually involves looking after young people under the age of 18 and their babies. But we may also need you to look after older parents with complex needs who need a helping hand with parenting.
Parent and Child placements used to be known as Mother and Baby. The idea being a foster carer would help give the new parent the skills to look after the child on their own.
If you have a spare bedroom and feel that you can help a child or young person then we want to hear from you.
