We know that our foster carers have a huge wealth of skills, interests and life experiences beyond their caring role.
This short survey invites you to share a little about yourself – for example, languages you speak, creative hobbies you enjoy, sports teams you support, unusual pets you own, and places you enjoy visiting.
The aim is to help us build a picture of the rich mix of interests within our fostering community. We aren't planning to bombard you with requests, but understanding what knowledge and experience is already here may help us support one another and meet children’s needs in thoughtful, practical ways when specific gaps arise.
