Adoption and Permanence

Circle of children

We are looking for adopters and foster carers who can provide a permanent home for:

  • school age children and young people or
  • groups of brothers and sisters or
  • children with a disability   

If you think that you can inspire and motivate a child or young person to reach their potential and you are:

  • single or with a partner,
  • in or out of work, or
  • with or without children,        

we would like to hear from you.  We are looking for ordinary people to do extraordinary things!

You will need to have:

  • a caring patient approach,
  • a non-judgemental, flexible and adaptable nature and
  • an interest, enthusiasm and commitment to care for children and young people.        

Do you have space in your life and your home?  We will provide ongoing training, support, fees and an allowance.

We will be running Adoption and Permanence Training throughout 2006.  To find out more, please call:
