Change a life… foster
Fostering changes lives… both for those being fostered and foster carers.
People foster for a number of reasons but overwhelmingly it’s because they want to make difference to a child’s life.
There are many children in Haringey who need foster carers.
Agreeing that a child shouldn’t live with their family is not always an easy or clear cut decision. Neither is the decision to become a foster carer.
There’s a lot to consider and you’ve probably got questions that you need the answers to before you can think seriously about whether you could be a foster carer.
If you are considering fostering, these pages - along with our information pack (PDF 92KB) and information sessions - aim to give you an insight into what’s involved and help you to make a decision.
