Tips on how to help foster children settle into your home

Welcoming a foster child into your home is a beautiful journey. Start by creating a warm and inviting space, and allow them to take their time adjusting.

Did you know? Research shows that children adjust better to foster care when they have a designated space to call their own. That's why a spare bedroom is a key requirement for fostering.

Practical tip:  Let them set up their room with familiar items. Don't wash or remove items before you understand their significance e.g a cuddly toy may smell of an important person.
