Can I foster if I’m single?

Did you know you can foster even if you are single? About 40% of our existing carers are single foster carers.

You don’t have to be married to foster – it doesn’t matter if you’re married, in a long term relationship or single. In other words, relationship status doesn’t affect your ability to look after children.

Families come in all shapes and sizes, so you won’t be judged for the size of yours.

Whether you’re single or married, it’s equally important to have a support network, who can help, support and assist you in your fostering career.

Hopefully this answers your question so we’ve got some great blog posts about why being a foster carer is amazing.
