Like the idea of fostering but not sure where to start?
Worried about what's really involved or whether you've got what it takes to welcome a vulnerable child into your home? What will the children be like? How much support will you get, and what will you be paid?
With so many different fostering agencies around - some profit-making and some non-profits like us - it's difficult to get straight answers to all the questions most people usually have when they start out.
Our online information events gives you the chance to ask whatever you want - and learn from people fostering right now.
What happens at our online fostering information events?
Our online fostering information events are held once per month via Teams. The sessions are free, informal and relaxed allowing you to ask questions and learn from other foster carers.
On the call you will:
- Find out how Diagrama foster carers benefit from exceptional round-the-clock support, free professional training and excellent benefits.
- Learn about the vulnerable children in need of fostering, the different types of foster care they need and what type might suit you best.
- Understand what's really involved in the fostering assessment process and what training you'll receive to make sure you have the skills for the job.
- Discover the detailed process we go through to ensure children are well matched with their carers (and their carers' children too!) to offer a stable and secure home that works well for everyone involved.
- Meet our welcoming team and learn about the central role our carers play in the service, what it means to foster with a non-profit agency that puts the needs of children (and not profits) first and hear what our foster carers really think of Diagrama.
