Fostering guides

Honest, practical guides for anyone thinking about fostering in London and for the carers already doing it. They are written by Rich Norwood, who has worked in fostering for 22 years, and drawn from the training Greater London Fostering gives its own carers.

• Becoming a foster carer: who can foster, the assessment, and what happens after approval
• Pay, tax and money: what carers are paid and how the tax works
• Types of fostering: short-term, long-term, parent and child, remand and more
• Caring for a child: behaviour, health, school, identity and staying safe
