Why foster for your local authority?

As a local authority foster carer, you'll be working directly with the children's services of the council who are responsible for over 1,500 looked after children in Liverpool.  Our fostering service is not for profit, and our priority is the welfare of our children and young people.

By choosing to foster with us you'll be helping to keep children in their own communities, giving them access to familiar things, helping them maintain their friendships and education and making their childhood as normal as possible for them.

We need more foster carers to provide stable and loving homes for children of all ages and backgrounds.  Every child is different and so we are looking for a diverse range of foster carers to meet a wide range of needs.
