Foster Care Fortnight™ is the UK’s biggest foster care awareness raising campaign, delivered by leading fostering charity, The Fostering Network. Established in 1997, the campaign showcases the commitment, passion and dedication of foster carers. It also supports fostering services to highlight the need for more foster carers. Thousands of new foster families are needed every year to care for children, with the greatest need being for foster carers for older children, sibling groups, disabled children and unaccompanied asylum seeking children.
Are you an independent foster carer or an agency? Or simply interested in learning more about the fostering community?
Join One Touch Health in celebrating Foster Carer Fortnight with a webinar centered around this year's theme of 'fostering communities', focusing on safer internet practices and what that means for foster carers with young children.
