Have you ever considered becoming a Respite Foster Care?
Whether it’s a short weekend break or a couple of weeks,
respite foster care allows time for families to take a little break.
Respite fostering is a type of short-term foster placement
where the child or children spend a short period of time with a foster family,
so their current family can take some time out for themselves or maybe because they have a specific occasion to attend
or medical need.
As a respite foster carer, the
time you offer for fostering will be mutually agreed and is typically weekends
or school holidays. This allows you to fit
respite foster care around your own routines.
If you’re interested in becoming a respite foster carer, we
are always looking for foster families who are willing to embrace a respite
care lifestyle. Our training and support will provide you with
everything you need to become a respite foster carer.
