Children’s Guide to Fostering

Children’s Guides to Fostering (Up to 5 years and 5–10 years)

These guides are designed to help children understand what foster care is, what to expect, and who is there to support them while they are in care. They are tailored to be age-appropriate, using friendly language and illustrations.

This guide helps very young children by using pictures and simple concepts to reassure them that they are safe, cared for, and listened to.

This guide helps older children make sense of their situation, feel included in their care, and understand the people and processes around them.
