Your Home
Any child or young person coming to live with you needs to feel that there is space that is their own and that you have the time and energy to care for them. Any children you are fostering should ideally have their own room. Where this is not possible it is important that they have space that they can clearly see as their own and be encouraged to stay fit, active and healthy by taking part in sports, clubs and activities in which they express interest. To assist this we would require you to have your own transport or to have readily available access to public transport.
Angus Council does not set precise household standards for carers but we do expect carer's homes to be reasonably clean and safe and able to meet basic health and safety criteria. Foster carer's must have a telephone.
If you like children and/or young people, and feel that you have both the time and space in your home to offer support to someone that really needs it please get in touch with us.
Further information about the different types of Foster Care that are available are described in the next section entitled: "Care Options".
