- The ability to communicate effectively, not only with children and young people but also with social workers, the child’s family and/or others concerned with the wellbeing of the child or young person
- The ability to be flexible and non-judgemental, as well as being patient and understanding
- A spare bedroom/s for your foster child or children
- A valid driving licence and access to a car
- Access to a computer and the internet

You can apply to be a foster carer regardless of your marital status, sexuality or residential status. Foster carers come from diverse backgrounds, which reflect our children and young people who are in need of stable and caring homely environments. Having lived experiences and the ability to overcome challenges is celebrated.
