Finding a foster carer

We strive to place our children in care with just the right fostering family to meet their needs and give them a safe and happy home. Sometimes, if we can't find the right placement here in Leicestershire, we'll look further afield for foster carers.

Foster carer for Toby

We’re urgently searching for a new specialist fostering family for three-year-old Toby, a little boy with a big, beautiful smile and complex needs.

The right family

We’re searching for a new fostering family who can welcome Toby on a long-term basis.

The right fostering family will need to have some relevant experience or a background of supporting young people with significant disabilities and/or complex behaviours.

Comprehensive support, training, and professional development will be provided.

If you would like to talk about fostering, whether for now or for the future, please get in touch with the team. We will never persuade people into fostering – rather, we aim to provide you with all the information and support you need to decide if and when you could foster.
