Foster Care Roadshow

Southway Housing

Meet the Manchester City Councils Fostering Recruitment Team  to find out more about becoming a Foster Carer.

Fostering can mean taking in and caring for a child or a young person for a couple of nights, several months, or many years. Foster carers come from all walks of life and after having a spare room the main criteria are being resilient, enjoying the company of children and young people and having that ‘stickability’ factor. There's lots of misinformation about fostering so why not book an informal one to one session with Manchester City Councils Fostering Recruitment Team and get your questions answered? Southway Housing Trust has teamed up to the Councils Fostering Service so you can find out the facts fostering Manchester children and young people.Check if you can foster. To be a foster carer you must: •	be 21 or over; and •	live in Greater Manchester; and •	have a spare bedroom, or expect to have one; and •	be happy for us to carry out checks to see that you'll be a good foster carer. You can be a foster carer if you: •	are in a relationship or single •	are gay or straight •	have your own children or not •	own or rent your home •	have pets in your home or not •	work or not work – as long as you have time to meet a child's needs. We welcome people from any ethnic background or heritage. We particularly like to hear from you if you have experience of looking after children, such as if you've been a teacher, a teaching assistant, a childminder, or have parenting experience.
