Hi, been desperate to foster for years and now in a position to do so (spare room, family support etc). I work 9-5 5 days a fortnight. Would I be allowed to foster without giving up my job? Also, my parter works away 4 weeks out of every 6, but is home full-time the remaining 2. I'd be aiming to foster kids aged 4+ (ie school aged). My mum (ex foster carer herself) would be available to help with after school care on the days I'm working tho my job does also offer flexi time.
Do you think it would be worthwhile me approaching my LA or is working whilst fostering a complete no-no?
