What is fostering?

Fostering is about providing a safe, caring, and nurturing family environment for children and families in need of support. At PACFS, we specialize in parent and child placements, where a parent—often a mother—and their baby stay in a foster home to receive guidance and support.

Our specially trained foster families work closely with parents, helping them develop the skills needed to care for their baby responsibly. We create a nurturing and structured environment where parents can address any challenges that may be preventing them from providing safe and consistent care for their child.

In addition to parent and child placements, PACFS also provides safe, stable homes for individual children and young people who cannot be cared for by their birth parents or family due to various circumstances. Depending on their needs, these placements may be short-term or long-term, offering children the security and stability they require.

Could You Become a Foster Carer?

If you have the compassion, patience, and commitment to make a difference in a child’s life, we encourage you to reach out to our placement service team at PACFS.

Whatever your religious or ethnic background, whether you are married, single, or in a same-sex relationship, if you can provide a stable and supportive home, we would love to work with you.

Our team will provide:

  • Comprehensive training to equip you with the confidence and skills needed to foster vulnerable children.
  • Financial support to help cover the costs of fostering.
  • A dedicated support network to guide you every step of the way

Contact us to request our information pack, which offers further details about the unique rewards of fostering.
