If you live in Rotherham and are considering fostering a child or young adult, we have the experience and resources to start your fostering journey. At Fostering to Inspire we focus on getting to know as many people in the community as possible to understand their circumstances and fostering requirements.
There are several stages to becoming a foster carer and these are:
- The initial enquiry: Contact us and ask any questions you might have about fostering. Our team are happy to help as much as they can and give you support and guidance. We are always delighted to hear from new carers wondering about their options or existing carers wishing to transfer.
- A home visit: This visit will allow for a more detailed discussion about what is involved in becoming a foster carer. It will be carried out by one of our supervising social workers and give us a chance to explain everything that we offer for our foster carers.
- Application and assessment process: Once an application has been carried out, a detailed assessment from us will begin, ensuring that potential foster carers are fully aware of their role and are given the right support. Our assessment will take approximately 6 months to complete.
- Approval: After the assessment is complete our fostering panel will then be able to determine the most appropriate types of fostering for each applicant. During the whole process an assessing social worker will be on hand to answer any questions you might have.
