Foster carers look after children when they cannot live with their own family. This can be for a short time, or a long time. Foster carers welcome children and young people into their own homes and offer them a safe, loving place to live.
Foster carers provide a safe, loving and supportive home for children and young people who cannot live with their own families. They offer everyday care, encouragement and stability, helping children feel secure and supported.
Provide a safe, stable and nurturing environment.
Support children with daily routines, school and activities.
Help children build confidence, learn and achieve their goals.
Listen, reassure and help children feel valued and understood.
There are many reasons why a child or young person may need foster care. At Cuffe & Lacey, we receive referrals for children of all ages, backgrounds and cultures who need a safe, loving and supportive home.
Some children need a home on their own, while others need to stay with their brothers and sisters. We also receive referrals for parents who need support while caring for their children.
Having foster carers in communities across the country is incredibly important. It helps children stay close to their schools, friends, families and familiar surroundings, providing stability and reassurance during a time of change.
Cuffe and Lacey foster carers are supported by their own dedicated social worker and our Outstanding team. From our very first meet, to approval and beyond, we are there to support and guide you every step of the way.
