About fostering
Fostering can change a child or young person’s life — and yours too.
This page brings together some of the fostering guidance you need, helping you understand what fostering feels like, what it asks of you, and the difference you could make by opening your home and heart.
Fostering with pets
We welcome foster carers who have pets. We believe that pets can be a great source of comfort, support and a calming influence. They can also help to build confidence in children.
Fostering frequently asked questions
Becoming a foster carer is a big decision and we're sure that you'll have lots of questions – about eligibility, finances, the process itself or the different types of fostering available.
Faith in fostering
Action for Children Fostering believes that faith groups teach the importance of love, kindness and compassion.
