What is CareVisions Fostering?
Sometimes children are unable to live at home because their own parents cannot look after them for some reason. If there isn’t anyone they can stay with in their family such as grandparents, Aunts or Uncles, they have to be looked after by someone else. This can be with foster carers.
CareVisions Fostering provides short, medium and long term care for children, young people and sibling groups. Our foster carers are supported to become confident in using their practical experience and undertake safer carer training within our preparation materials.
Who can be a foster carer?
Anyone can apply to be a foster carer as long as you have what it takes to look after children who are not your own. You should be over 21, you can be single, married or in a partnership. Some carers have their own children, others don't. It doesn't matter if you are in or out of paid work at the moment, own or rent a house.
People of all ethnic origins are welcomed.
If you have children it is a good idea to have an age gap between them and a foster child, one of our staff will discuss this with you further if you decided to proceed.
How do I get to be a foster carer?
After you apply we will make an appointment to meet you at your home to discuss fostering in more detail and answer your questions. We decide if you meet the criteria to become a foster carer and invite you to attend a series of training sessions. At the same time we will pay a number of visits to your home to get to know you, your family and circumstances well.
We are required by law to make checks with Disclosure Scotland, Health, Education and Social Services and take up personal references. We will also pay for you to have a medical examination. An independent panel of social workers, existing foster carers and people who were fostered themselves consider all the information and decide whether to recommend you to become a foster carer.
The whole process takes about five months and you can decide not to continue at any point.
