Our aim is to give our foster children a safe place away fromany trauma they have experienced. We have helped move our young people into independent living or back with their birth families. All our foster children need is for someone to be there for them and advocate for them. We’ve helped rebuild relationships with birth families and nurture our foster children to become independent, and that is the greatest reward. If you do encounter challenges, the team at Essex County Council are there for you. We have completed a lot of training courses on subjects like being trauma informed, parent and child fostering, and first aid. All the training is of a high quality and support is local. Fostering has taught me so much about myself as well. You need to have a good sense of humour and patience, be non-judgemental, be understanding and be willing to learn. If you’re thinking about fostering just give it a chance. Every child deserves a chance, and you won’t know until you give it a try. There are so many ways in which you can foster, Essex County Council will help to find an option that best suits you and your family. You could help children and young people write the next chapter of their book.
