Who can foster in Falkirk?
Every foster family is different, but what they all have in common is a shared goal of changing a young life and providing a stable and loving environment for young people to thrive in. All applications in Falkirk are considered, regardless of age, gender, martial status, religious persuasion, sexual identity or nationality.
No formal qualifications are required to become a foster carer, instead we’ll give you the tools and training (link) to build on your own life experience to provide the very best care for our young people.
Long & short term fostering
Life after Covid and the cost of living increasing are things that more prospective foster parents are thinking about. Short term fostering is a route into fostering, which can also be a doorway into longer term fostering if you wanted to. However if you wanted to stay as a short term fosterer that would be fine also - whatever works best for you.
How long it takes to foster
We can go as fast or as slow as you wish in order to guide you through the process. If you are looking to foster sooner rather than later then we use phone, Whatsapp, Facetime, Zoom or whatever technology works for you in order to communicate regularly each week.
