Who can foster?
There is no ‘perfect’ person that we look for to join our fostering family here at Bexley.
No formal qualifications are required to become a foster carer as we will provide all the training you need. What you do need is to be:
- over the age of 21
- have full time UK residency or permission to remain
- have the time and space to make a meaningful commitment to a child or young person
- be in good health
All our foster carers are resilient, patient, flexible, creative, adaptable and accepting, with good humour, a strong desire to learn and be part of a team.
We are interested in what you have to offer a child. We are interested in what you have to have to offer a child and the difference you can make to their lives.
