What Is The Role Of A Foster Carer
The needs of your foster child are important, but should be incorporated into your current routine along with everything else.
Life at home as a foster carer
Caring for a foster child is a big part of life at home. You become primarily responsible for their wellbeing and therefore constant considerations have to be made to ensure your support and care is available whenever it is needed. Therefore, it’s important to consider how the role might affect your current responsibilities.

Striking a balance as a carer
It’s important to get the balance right between your role as a carer and other aspects of your life. The needs of your foster child are important, but should be incorporated into your current routine along with everything else.
The best foster carers are happy carers, and that means making time for family, friends, and the things you like to do.
