Do you reside in Hounslow or its environs? Are you over the age of 21? Do you wish to work with children and have a spare room at home? Why not work with foster children?
As a foster family, UK Fostering firmly believes that foster parents are not on their journey to care for children and young people in isolation. We are travelling on this journey together and constitute what we refer to as the UK Fostering family. Speak to us if you’re interested in fostering in Hounslow.
For several reasons, some kids cannot live with their birth family. UK Fostering is responsible for looking after these kids and helps find foster parents who will give them a safe and loving environment.
Foster parents may be a single person, family, or couple (same-sex or otherwise). The most crucial factor is to honestly want to make a difference in a baby’s, child’s, or young person’s life.
More than 300 children and young people in Hounslow are in foster care because they cannot live with their own families. For the kids and teens under our care, we need foster parents. Applications from anyone interested in fostering teenagers and sibling groups are especially appreciated.
We are searching for foster parents who can provide for the needs of our looked-after children and young adults who come from various ethnic, cultural, and religious backgrounds.
To be considered a foster care provider, you don’t need to be a parent or have prior experience working with kids.
You must:
be older than 21
if you are fostering children older than two, have a spare room.
reside in the Hounslow Borough or work there within a reasonable distance.
be able to transport kids to and from school
be able to transport kids to and from family contact
be capable of transporting a youngster to medical appointments
satisfy a child’s educational requirements
possess good health
have the right to stay in the UK indefinitely
be available to a child whenever they require you
sincerely care about changing a child’s or young person’s life.
Foster carers in Hounslow can be:
from any background, be it racial or religious
whether you’re single, married, or cohabiting.
straight, gay, or lesbian
disabled
living in a rental, owned, or council-owned home
a parent or someone with previous experience looking after kids.
We are unique in that we have staff members with first-hand fostering experience at all organisational levels. This, in our opinion, has a significant impact on our success.
Our goal is to continually assess the needs of the nation’s most vulnerable children and adjust our services based on our own experiences and published studies. We strive to be at the forefront of any new developments and advise the appropriate authorities on industry-related legislation developments.
