Parent and child

Specially trained foster carers will take both young parents and their babies into their home, providing them with care and support and teaching them how to care for their baby.

Becoming a parent at any age is a challenging time in life but doing this whilst being in care is extremely difficult.

Carers are needed to help both parents and young children through this journey. Carers will need to offer support, advice and reassurance, making both parent and baby feel comfortable in their new surroundings.
