I am a child protection social worker but I have been thinking for around 5 years of becoming a foster carer. What are peoples thoughts on this, not really in relation to my job but about becoming a foster carer. I feel I don't really do anything worthwhile in my job and the policies and procedures feel like straight jackets most of the time. I do not directly support foster carers but do meet with them and always leave their homes thinking they are the ones making the real difference. Should I go for it and apply????
