Are you interested in fostering, adopting or offering short break care for Sunderland children?

If you have ever considered fostering, adopting or offering short break care for Sunderland children, read on.  The types of care which you may be able to get involved with are

Adoption - where a child becomes a permanent and full member of your family.

Permanent fostering - for children who need regular face-to-face contact with their parents but do not live with them. These placements continue until young people are adults.

Foster care workers scheme - these are the placements for young people whose behaviour challenges us. This is a fee paid scheme.

Temporary fostering - a scheme where children live with you temporarily while the problems which lead to them being separated from their family are overcome so they can return home, or move to a more permanent home.

Short breaks - this scheme offers families with children (especially those who are disabled) regular planned breaks. This is often one weekend per fortnight or month with additional stays with you during school holiday periods.

Anyone interested in receiving more information can call (0191) 5205555 or our 24 hour answering service (0191) 3823020 or email: fostering@ssd.sunderland.gov.uk
