Hi all im new to all this so please bear with me. my partner an i have been thinking about fostering for some time now and have just been doing our homework before we actually commit to applying with the local authority.
in the mean time an incident has happened concerning a family member and we are now concerned that social services will get involved an that the children may go in to care. they are our niece an nephew and obviously care a great deal for them an would do anything to make sure they are well cared for and are willing to foster them ourselves. was just wondering if anyone had any advice on this mater ie, how we go about doing this,whats involved an who we speak to? also does anyone have any advice on if there are any allowances to help us financially? would be very grateful for any advice.
thanks xxx
