Parent and child fostering

P&C fostering, or what  used to be called mother and baby fostering, is a specialism that some foster carers choose to pursue.

As a P&C carer you will open to home to both a parent and child. Usually it’s a mother and baby, but we have had mother, father and baby, and sometimes a parent and several children.

It’s a different kind of fostering because you aren’t necessarily providing the day to day care for a child, but what you are doing is helping to guide a parent to be a good enough parent. Often P&C placements are the last step before a child is removed, so as a carer you can really play a huge part in keeping the parent with their child.

We probably need P&C carers more than any other type of foster carer, so if you think this is something you’d be interested in, then we’d love to have a chat. Either use our call back form, or just start an online chat with us.
