Welcome To Placing Children First

This is our campaign to find supportive foster carers for some of the most vulnerable and challenging looked after young people in the region.

This remarkable career is about providing children who are unable to live at home with supportive, confident family environments, giving high quality care and ensuring they can experience stability within your own home.

Your importance and influence as a foster carer in a child’s life can help them cope with their circumstances and make life-changing differences to their prospects.

“Fostering and adoption are matters close to my heart. Vulnerable children have to deal with a wide range of issues and behavioural challenges and it is because I understand the important role that a strong, caring family can play that I’m currently looking to adopt a child.

There are thousands of children in the UK who urgently need a stable, positive home environment. They deserve the best start in life and I hope that the Placing Children First initiative will encourage more people to realise their potential as a foster carer.”
