Foster Family Qualifications
Experience in caring for children is a definite advantage for a family thinking about
fostering. You may still apply to foster even if you have no experience, as long as you
have a basic understanding of children’s needs and have a willingness to learn. A love of
young people, optimism, patience, a good sense of humour and consistency are all
essential attributes of successful foster families.
