All members of Southampton City Council’s fostering family receive excellent ongoing support.
You will have:
- an allocated supervising social worker who will help and support you every step of the process, making sure you have everything you need to give a child or young person a positive experience
- 24-hour support through our out of hours team
- access to our fostering support groups which run weekly
Our foster carers regularly meet up socially to support each other, share experiences and advice.
You will also become a member of FosterTalk, an independent not-for-profit organisation providing high quality professional advice and guidance to all foster carers.
As we are an agency member of New Family Social, a UK charity who provide support for LGBT+ families with fostering, we can offer you free membership with them.
