About Us
We refer to the children we place in foster care as being 'Looked After' and our priority is always to ensure the very best outcome for every young person we need to place with our registered carers. We do this through our Fostering Service which is a specialist service that values the commitment, dedication and high standards of care provided by people just like you.
Rotherham Borough Council's Fostering Service is keen to promote fostering and we encourage people from all walks of life to enquiry about becoming a fostering family.
We are very lucky to have extremely hard working, experienced and committed foster carers on board and are always on the look out for more families to join us in becoming part of the fostering community in Rotherham.
The fostering service is made up of 3 elements:
- The recruitment, training and assessment team will guide you through the assessment and training process
- The supervisory team will support you when you are approved and become established (and clear about your role as a foster carer)
- Rotherham's Fostering Community (i.e. the foster carers)
