Foster Care Fortnight special webinar - Acceptance and belonging in fostering

Join our free Foster Care Fortnight webinar and hear what welcoming a child into your home really looks like.

Whether you’re already fostering, exploring the idea, or supporting children in care, this session offers honest, practical insight from those with lived experience.

You’ll hear directly from foster carers with a range of experiences – from short breaks to long-term care, including supporting children with additional needs and those part of a Mockingbird constellation.

A care experienced adult will also share their journey alongside their former foster carer, offering a powerful perspective on what truly helps a child feel safe, settled and that they belong.

We’ll explore:

• What it’s really like to welcome a child into your home
• The challenges carers face and how they navigate them
• The role of food, routines and everyday moments in building trust and connection
• How fostering services can support smoother transitions for children and carers

Why attend?

• Prospective carers – gain real insight and decide if fostering is right for you
• Existing carers – learn from others’ experiences and build your confidence
• Services and professionals – deepen your understanding of the fostering journey

This free webinar is open to everyone interested in fostering,  including foster carers, kinship carers, those considering fostering, and professionals working with children and families.
