Adoption and fostering

Our fostering and adoption services are among the top performing in the UK. We train and support carers across Leicester, Leicestershire and the East Midlands.

Adoption

Each year we help dozens of people become new families for children.

Private fostering

When a child under 16 (under 18 if disabled), is in the care of someone who is not the parent or a close relative.

Looked after children

Children who are looked after by us are mostly placed with foster carers within a family environment.
