About this event
Thank you for taking the first step and for wanting to learn more about becoming a foster carer.
We welcome anyone from within a 25 mile radius of Brighton & Hove to register for this event. You can register with no prior contact but we would recommend getting in touch first. It would be great to connect with you and to find out a little bit about you, so that we can tailor the content accordingly and invite foster carers in similar circumstances to share their experience.
The event will include an introduction to fostering from a member of our team and an opportunity to ask current foster carers about their day-to-day experience of fostering for Brighton & Hove City Council. A care-experienced young person will also talk about the difference foster care has made to their life.
We will discuss and dispel the many myths that surround fostering, and all too often lead to people disqualifying themselves unnecessarily.
Discover not only whether fostering is right for you, but also how it can be a lifechanging experience for you, your family and the young people who need you.
This event will typically last 1 hour but we will always allow additional time for questions and discussion.
