Short-term
You could provide the ‘stop-gap’ for a vulnerable child, or young person who needs a safe environment until a more permanent home can be found. This type of fostering can vary in length, from one night to a few weeks or months.
Short-term foster care is where you will provide a vulnerable child or young person with a safe environment to stay in until a more permanent placement can be found, or they can return to their family. This type of placement can vary from one night to a few weeks or even months, depending on the circumstances.
Calon Cymru will support you throughout your placement and assign you a Supervising Social Worker. This will help you to focus on the child whilst they are in your care.
Short-term placements can also become long-term if it is determined that it’s best for everyone.
Deciding on the fostering that suits you best is a difficult decision. For example, you might suit a placement where you look after a child or young person more permanently than in short-term foster care.
