common questions

We know becoming a foster carer can be challenging, and that you have a lot of questions along the way.

We’re dedicated to working with foster families to make a difference to children in Wales. But what is fostering exactly and how does it work? These are questions we’re asked all the time.

Fostering means something different to every child we care for. There are different types of fostering and different roles carers can play. Each one makes a huge, life-long impact.

Find out more about what we do, and how you can join us.
