Portsmouth children need foster carers to come forward and offer them loving homes. But there's a shortage of carers, locally and nationally. One reason might be that people have been put off by one of the common misconceptions about fostering. Read our myth-buster blogs to put the record straight.
As a local authority, we know the children in our care the best and our aim is to keep more local children with local foster carers. Fostering for your local authority offers many benefits including frequency of placements, competitive allowances and support close to home.
The video below features just a handful of our many, fantastic foster carers talking about their experiences.
Fostering is an incredibly rewarding, home-based career with a number of options available to work for you. As well as the personal satisfaction from making a difference to a child’s life, you will benefit from significant support yourself on a 24/7 basis. You will also receive full training prior to your first placement and an ongoing training calendar all year round.
We have adopted the Mockingbird model of foster care to better support carers and young people in Portsmouth.
