Creating Safe, Loving Homes for Every Child
We work closely with foster parents, social workers, and community partners to create positive and lasting impacts in the lives of children in need. Whether you are interested in becoming a foster parent or seeking support for a child, AC-Fostering is here to guide you every step of the way.
What is Foster Care?
Foster care offers a safe, supportive home for children when their biological families cannot provide care. Our trained and approved foster carers provide nurturing, kindness, and stability, ensuring the emotional and mental well-being of each child.
Fostering vs. Adoption
While adoption is a permanent arrangement where adoptive parents take full legal responsibility, fostering is typically a temporary arrangement. The local authority and birth parents maintain legal responsibility for the child in foster care.
Choosing a Fostering Agency
Foster carers can register with local authorities or independent fostering agencies like AC-Fostering. We provide extensive training, 24/7 support, and a community that is passionate about making a difference in the lives of children.
The Approval Process
Every foster family undergoes an approval process, typically lasting 10-34 weeks, depending on availability and required development. This process ensures that every foster carer is fully prepared to provide a safe and nurturing environment.
Financial Support for Foster Carers
Fostering is both a vocation and a career. At AC-Fostering, we offer competitive fostering allowances to ensure foster carers are supported financially while providing exceptional care to children.
Who Can Foster?
Fostering is open to a wide range of people, whether you’re single, renting, or over a certain age. Key requirements include a spare bedroom, good health, and being over 21 years of age.
