Hi everyone. I am new to this and am looking for some advice. I am taking 16+ young people and have been matched with my first placement!!! I have met the young person and introdcutions are starting but I was wondering if anyone had any tips about helping a young person to settle. I want to make the yc as comfortable as possible but don't want to be too OTT. Anyone done this or have any suggestions/advice?

Hi drpink, just wanted to wish you luck.

I don't have much advice as have never fostered older teenagers but just try and be yourself and don't expect a perfect routine the first day.

Lots of give and take and a dose of humour.
