Discover The World Of Planned Break Fostering
Thinking about being a foster carer?
Consider joining our planned break foster program.
If you're passionate about making a difference in the lives of children and families but have less time available for full time fostering or want to build up your fostering experience slowly, consider stepping into the world of planned break fostering.
Our planned break foster program offers crucial short-term support for those in foster care. Exposure to different environments during planned breaks fosters adaptability, resilience and social skills, contributing to the overall wellbeing and positive development of our children.
Here’s why you should you consider being part of this incredible journey with Community Foster Care:
-
By opening your home to a child in need, even for a short time, you're making a great impact on their life. Our children and young people often come from challenging backgrounds and providing them with a safe and nurturing environment—even temporarily—can set them on a path towards stability and happiness.
-
Our primary foster carers play a key role in the lives of these children, but they are also in need of support. Through planned break fostering, you can help them recharge and continue providing the best care possible.
-
Through planned break fostering, our children receive consistent and reliable care. This consistency is crucial for their emotional well-being and helps foster a sense of security and trust in their relationships.
-
Planned break fostering offers flexibility that fits your schedule. Whether you can provide care for a weekend, a few days, or longer periods, every bit of support makes a significant difference in both the lives of foster carers and children in care.
-
If you're considering becoming a long-term foster carer, planned break fostering is an excellent way to dip your toes in the water. It allows you to experience the joys and challenges of fostering while determining if it's the right fit for you and your family.
