Virtual information sessions are also available and can be booked in advance on the Foster4 website. You don't need to come to an event but is a great opportunity to ask any questions you may have before you have an initial visit to your home from the fostering team.
Foster4 Fostering Support Worker, Bex, said:
“There are lots of different types of fostering available including short-term, long-term and emergency respite. If you want to find out more, come along to one of our information sessions and we can run through all the information with you.”
