Fostering in Clackmannanshire
Foster Care Agency
Interested in fostering in Clackmannanshire? We're urgently looking for more kind and caring people to join our fostering family, so we can build brighter futures for more children and teenagers in foster care.
As an independent fostering agency with over 25 years of experience, we take great care when placing children with foster parents so they receive the very best care that’s tailored to their needs. Generally, the children who come into our care are aged between 5 to 18; many have experienced some kind of neglect, abuse or family dysfunction and need a stable, loving home until they're able to return home or move on to independence.
Our foster families are supported by a local and dedicated team of social workers and support staff, as well as a 24/7 helpline with a qualified social worker. The team also arrange regular local events and support groups, so our foster families always feel connected to others in the area. Foster parents also receive regular, quality training which occurs both virtually and face-to-face at our Edinburgh office.
If you’re ready to take your first step into joining our Clackmannanshire fostering team, chat to our friendly advisers today.
