This year World Book Day takes place on 3rd March. World Book Day aims to change lives through a love of books and shared reading to ensure that all children can experience the life-changing power of books. Research undertaken by World Book Day shows that reading for pleasure is the single biggest indicator of a child’s future success – more than their family circumstances, their parents’ educational background or their income.
We’re often asked how a looked after child is matched with a foster family and what input you have with deciding placements as a foster carer.
Take a look at our guide to how the matching process happens.
“I would love to foster but I am probably too old”. We hear these words frequently and there are a lot of common misconceptions about fostering. One of them is that there's a cut-off age for foster carers.
Hear first-hand from our Rotherham carers who came to fostering later in life and have never looked back.
After you’ve had your information call or visit with one of our fostering advisers, your next step will be to have a follow up visit. Unlike your initial chat with our fostering adviser, follow up visits take place face-to-face in your home. We’ve put together this useful guide to help you understand what to expect from your visit.
