Fostering parents should listen to the child's opinions, encourage their ideas, and provide a safe and supportive environment where they can develop their sense of self-worth #freedomfostering

Our advice on how to respond if your child is feeling angry.

'There are a lot of young kids out there that need love and support.' @JimmyAkingbola explains why he made a documentary about fostering and why he wants more people to get involved in fostering. He says fostering shouldn’t be seen as a reaction to trauma, but a show of love.
