What is fostering?

Fostering is caring for a child as part of your own family. This usually happens when their own family are unable to care for them for a variety of reasons, either temporarily or permanently. There are two main type of fostering; short-term fostering and long-term fostering. Short-term fostering can last from hours, days or months whilst it is decided what will be in the best interests of the child. Often children return home to their own family but sometimes they may remain in long-term foster care, this means that the child continues to live with the foster family until they are at least 18 years old.
