Enquire to Foster Today!
We understand that making the decision to become a foster carer is a big commitment. Register your interest with our carer enquiries team for a no obligation chat to find out whether fostering could be right for you.
Children come into foster care for a number of reasons; it could be that somebody in their family is unwell and unable to care for them, or they may not live in a safe or stable environment. Because of this, we offer different types of fostering placements to suit the individual needs of our young people.
As a Five Rivers foster carer, we will help you choose a type, or types of fostering that are suited to your experience, ability, lifestyle and resources. You will have the option to provide short-term or long-term placements and to work with children of all ages, from infants to teenagers and young adults.
Five Rivers prioritises professional development. Initially, you may be approved for one type of fostering; should you then wish to explore other types of fostering, you will be supported through our free, local training programmes.
We will help you find the type of fostering best suited to you.
