Foster Carer Approval Process
Prospective foster carers have to undertake a Skills to Foster Preparation Course which is organised and run by Archway Care. Following successful completion of this course you will be allocated an assessment social worker who will complete a Comprehensive Form F1 assessment on your suitability to become a foster carer.This assessment will then be presented to our Fostering Panel for their consideration and recommendation on your terms of approval. If you are successful in being approved by our Fostering Panel we can then commence the process of family finding for you.
