The first part of the assessment stage is where one of our team visit you at your home (or with COVID restrictions via video call) to get to know you and your surroundings, ask you relevant questions and answer your questions.
Once this stage is completed and both parties agree to move onto the next stage, you will be asked to complete our fostering application form after which the ‘Form F’ assessment begins. This involves several visits to your home and attendance at a pre-approval training programme.
During this stage we also carry out some vital checks such as a DBS and local authority checks and obtain professional and personal references.
