We welcome questions from people in Royal Tunbridge Wells and nearby communities.
If you are thinking about fostering later in your career or after your own children have grown up, ask what the role could involve now. Your current circumstances are the starting point.
Tell us your postcode and we can discuss coverage, travel and what a suitable fostering arrangement could involve. Your first conversation is about exploring the possibilities, not committing to an application.
You will have support.
A named supervising social worker, preparation and ongoing learning, and experienced out-of-hours advice are part of fostering with South Coast.
Can I enquire if I live just outside Royal Tunbridge Wells?
Yes. Tell us your postcode and the places you can travel to. We will explain coverage and explore your circumstances before you decide whether to go further.
Do I have to choose a type of fostering now?
No. We can discuss different types of care alongside your household, experience and availability. A child’s needs remain central to any match.
What if I already foster?
We can discuss what you would like from a different agency and explain the transfer process. Any move needs careful planning, including the needs of children living with you.
