Fostering

There is a real need to find more brilliant people to foster.  

It can be such a rewarding role and the impact you could make on a child or young persons life can be life transforming.

​

There are different forms of fostering and we are committed to supporting you every step of the way.

​

NorthPoint aims to support children and carers by offering therapeutic support and training. With a focus on the secure base model, carers will have the skills and knowledge they need to help children move towards greater security and resilience.

Siblings Together

Separating siblings when they become looked after can have a devastating impact on children and where possible, we would like to make sure this doesn't happen.

We are looking to find more loving homes for sibling groups.

​

If you feel you are able to offer a safe, loving and supportive home for siblings, please get in touch or arrange a call with our team.

Respite

Respite care is a fostering placement for a short of amount of time, and provides support for foster carers as well as an enjoyable break for young people.

Providing respite care can be such a joy for you and the child.

​

We're looking to recruit more short term foster carers to help invest in chidden and young peoples lives and to provide crucial rest times for dedicated foster parents.

Parent & Child

Parent and child foster placements involve caring for a vulnerable parent and their child. This is often for a time specific period with a view to assessing the skills of the parent and supporting them to develop confidence, awareness and the ability to nurture their child.

This can be a very rewarding type of fostering, as you are able to provide safe care for a baby as well as showing a young person how to care for their child.

​

Specialist training and support will be available.
