Finding out if fostering is for you and learning about what options might fit best for you and your situation is really important. We will support you and we’ll never rush you. We want to answer all your questions and give you space to decide if it’s right for you and your family, whether now or in the future.
There are no stupid questions. Everyone’s situation and family is unique. You’re under no obligation to continue at any stage of the process.
Learn all you want to know about fostering in general and fostering with Essex County Council. Read our website, or come to an event to meet a foster carer and find out what it’s like.
Set up an introductory chat with the Essex Fostering team. We can talk you through all the options and connect you up with other foster carers too.
