Fostering is a rewarding and recognised profession. It means looking after a child or young person in your home who is not able to live with their birth family. Every child in our care is as unique as you are, and all have different needs. They come from all sorts of backgrounds and different family situations, so each needs a different type of care. Some will only need to stay with foster carers for a few days, whereas others will need to remain on a longer-term basis. In Devon we currently need foster carers for teenagers, including some with challenging and complex behaviour. What does fostering teenagers involve? What experience do I need to foster a teenager? Will I get paid? Do you have any further questions? Read more about fostering teenagers, call 0345 155 1077 or email foster@devon.gov.uk We’d love to hear from you.
