Recruitment and retention
Good foster carers can be the difference in the life of a child. It's vital that fostering services are recruiting and retaining the best foster carers. The Fostering Network offers support in both of these areas.
We have a range of resources to support the recruitment and retention of foster carers, including our The Skills to Foster range.
Every year The Fostering Network publishes recruitment targets for the number of new fostering families needed in the coming 12 months.
We know that some foster carers have vacancies for long periods of time which can be very frustrating.
