Becoming a Foster Carer
Find out about training, support and the process involved
Fostering is a way of providing a family life to a child unable to live at home. As a West Berkshire foster carer, you'll be part of a team of professionals helping to provide a child with a safe environment.
We need foster carers for children of all age groups, and if you decide to apply to foster, we'll help you to decide the age group of the children you want to care for. We'll work with you to ensure the children we place with you match your skills and experience.
We guide and support you all the way through the application and assessment process and give you maximum support after you have been approved.
