Myth 1: Only Couples Can Foster

Fact: Foster parents come from all walks of life. Whether you’re single, married, or in a partnership, you can foster if you meet the fostering requirements.

Myth 2: You Need to Own Your Home

Fact: Foster carers can rent or own their homes. What matters is that you provide a safe, nurturing space for children.

Myth 3: You Need a Degree to Foster

Fact: You don’t need formal qualifications to become a foster parent. Our fostering training programmes equip you with the skills you need.

Myth 4: Fostering is Expensive
