Short term fostering
Short term foster carers usually look after a child for a few weeks or months at a time. However, you might care for the same child for up to 2 years.
This is while social workers and professionals assess and support families to see if their child can return home.
Short term fostering usually suits people who:
- are new to fostering
- do not want to commit to a long period of fostering
- would like to help more children
You can earn £393.55 to £629.76 for short-term fostering depending on the age of the child.
