Could you foster a Dorset child or young person?
Our focus is on keeping local Dorset children close to their schools, friends and birth families and to avoid sending them out of the county. To do this, we need more people to foster with us.
Dorset Council is looking for people from all backgrounds to help care for Dorset’s children and young people. You can be married, single or in a partnership, working/not working, and from all ethnic groups and backgrounds. Providing you are over 18, have the space in your home and the time to offer a young person, then fostering might be a brilliant option for you.
When you foster with Dorset Council you will receive wrap-around support, training and a weekly allowance. You’ll also join Dorset’s supportive fostering community who have a wealth of experience.
If you are interested in becoming a foster carer, or would like to find out more, then head to our website for further information, download an information pack or submit an enquiry. Our team is always happy to have a no-commitment, friendly chat and to answer any questions you might have.
