I have a large house and my eldest is going to be moving out soon so I will have a spare bedroom.
I'm considering fostering but I have a question about approval. I had social services and the police involved because my child disclosed that in primary school there was inappropriate contact between siblings. It was deemed non violent or coercive, mutual child exploration and very common according to the police. All SS involvement ceased, no police charges etc. They just said sometimes kids do that stuff, they don't really understand what they're doing.
Would that stop me being able to foster? The 2 children would still be in the house but this occoured many years ago and was when they were 10 years old.
I don't even want to apply if it's going to be a reason to be told no.
