There are different types of fostering to suit different types of children including:
Short term fostering for children of all ages who may return to their parents within a few weeks, months or longer.
Long term fostering provides a permanent home for a child or children until they are ready to leave home and take care of themselves.
Mother and baby fostering to help young mothers who need support and guidance in caring for their new baby.
Respite fostering for short, regular planned stays so families under stress can have a break.
Teenage fostering for teenagers who need a home until they are ready to live independently
Private fostering where an unrelated adult cares for a child by private arrangements for 28 days or more.
