foster carers

Foster carers are individuals or families who provide temporary care for children who cannot live with their biological parents, often due to various difficult circumstances. They offer a safe and nurturing environment during a crucial time in the child’s life, which can range from a few days to several years. Foster care aims to support the child's emotional and physical wellbeing, while social services work towards a permanent solution, such as reunification with family or adoption. Foster carers play a vital role in helping children heal and develop, often requiring training and support from foster care agencies.
