Fostering in Moray

Fostering in Moray Moray Council`s fostering team provides care for individual children and sibling groups.

We are looking for people who have time, patience and flexibility to become a foster carer. You will also need to have space in your home and a willingness to work closely with the Social Work Department. Foster carers can be employed / unemployed / retired / single with or without children/ all ethnic backgrounds or religions, home owners or tenants. We recruit foster carers who can provide tem

porary and permanent care for children. Children come into foster care for many reasons, some may be at risk of physical or emotional harm and need a safe home environment. Foster carers work closely with social workers and others professionals including school, health and sometimes directly with parents. Specific qualifications are not necessary but you should be prepared to take on the challenge of caring for a child who may have complex needs. People who foster for us say that a good sense of humour is essential and you will need to be able to sensitively tackle a variety of issues. Above all, an interest in children, enthusiasm and a good level of energy is essential. We will provide you with training and ongoing support needed to prepare you for the role of becoming a foster carer.

đź’– There are lots of different ways to foster. Could it be for you?

Fostering isn’t about perfect routines or having all the answers. It’s about showing up and being that safe place where a child or young person can feel they belong.

It’s the small, everyday things that matter most. A chat over breakfast. Help with homework. A laugh at the end of a long day. Those moments might seem ordinary to you, but to a child, they can mean everything.

Many people wonder:
Am I the right kind of person?
Will I manage?
What if it’s challenging?

These are all real and honest questions – and you don’t have to figure them out on your own.

Fostering in Moray is here to have honest conversations about what fostering really looks like, answer your questions and help you explore whether fostering could fit into your life.

Whether you’re working, retired, single, raising children, or just starting to think about it, your life experience matters more than you might think. And if now’s not the right time, that’s okay too – we’re always here to talk!

Stop by our next fostering information drop-in for a chat.
