Of course! Carers often support a child or young person for a limited time, maybe because social services are exploring adoption or looking to return the child to his or her birth parent(s) after difficulty has been resolved. When a child does move on, we may well encourage you to take a break and recharge your batteries. It's always good to have time to reflect. There may also be times when foster carers want or need to take a longer break. That's ok too. We want to support you to give your best and we know that sometimes means stepping back for a bit. All we'd ask is that you keep in touch so we can check how you're doing.
