Fostering involves caring for someone else’s child in your own home because they cannot live with their own parents or other family members. Children and young people of various ages need fostering for all kinds of reasons and for different periods of time.
The Focus Fostering Scheme is a specialist fostering service that provides long term foster placements for children aged 5 to 18 years. The children/young people who are referred to the scheme are those who require considerable levels of support due to their complex needs. The children/young people who are offered a FOCUS placement are those that require a solo placement, which means that they are the only child or young person placed with the foster carer/s.
FOCUS foster carers can have other caring commitments or children of their own at home. However if they have children of their own they must be at least 16 years old at the time that looked after child is placed in their care.

FOCUS carers receive comprehensive training and preparation for the role, 24/7 support from a team of professionals, fortnightly meetings with a fostering social worker and opportunities to regularly meet with other FOCUS foster carers to share experiences and offer support. You will have access to specialist services and have the opportunity to attend Foster Carer Forums and receive regular newsletters and updates.
You will also receive competitive payments and allowances plus other benefits.
Allowances in the range of £28,485 and £31,298 per year*
- depending on age of child, paid as a weekly allowance whilst child in placement
