Can I foster if I'm not a parent?

Although having your own children is a great way to gain experience and knowledge, you don't have to be a parent to foster a child.

At By the Bridge we'll provide you with dynamic, interesting training and lots of support so you'll feel secure in your work.

As a Foster Parent we need you to:

• Be able to build good relationships with children and others around you
• Can see the potential in every child you foster
• Are reliable through a child's good times and tough times 
• Can offer a secure, loving and caring home for a foster child
