Brighter Fostering
Delivering Positive Outcomes For Young People
Fostering
At Brighter Fostering we want our foster carers to provide care for looked after children and give them a positive experience to achieve the best possible outcomes whilst they are in care.
A looked after child can be in foster care from as short as a week to as long as a year and even beyond.
Every fostering experience will be a unique experience for the looked after child and the foster carers they are placed with.
Who Can Foster?
The key to foster care is high levels of energy coupled with commitment and a passion for working with children and young people. Foster carers are expected to be resilient and enthusiastic, willing & able to battle through the tough times.
