Hi
I'm mid-thirties single mum with a 5yr old. I'm just about to complete a BA hons degree in Early Primary Education and then I'll be a Newly Qualified Teacher. I'd really like to foster and eventually take up a career in this field, perhaps tutoring or working with multi-agencies to help children to have brighter futures.
However, I suffered domestic violence then harassment from my childs father whom I split with before she was born. She does not know him, he does not have parental rights nor rights to contact. I havent heard from him for over a year and he no longer lives in the UK. Due to these problems my child was on the 'at risk' register through social services - although the reports stated that she was at no risk from me.
Will this mean I will not be able to foster?
Does anyone have any advice?
Thank you

Applying to Foster, will my history block me?
