Fostering
" You need a sense of humour and a willingness to adapt and work with lots of different people."
Brighton & Hove foster carer
Children's welfare is at the heart of the Brighton and Hove's Fostering Service. Our aim is to provide safe, secure and stable homes for children, who for whatever reason are unable to live with their own family.
We strongly believe that children are entitled to grow up as part of a loving and caring family who can meet their needs during child hood and beyond. Our foster carers are an essential part of this plan.
