Can I foster if I don’t have my own children?
You can foster if you haven’t had your own children. We would usually require you have some experience, whether this is with nieces or nephews, close friends children, or working in a child care related job.
If you are in any doubt about your experience feel free to call us and we can talk about it. In the past, where we’ve had people with no or limited experience, we’ve helped connect them gain experience by helping our existing carers.
We’d love to hear about your experiences or comments below.
