Fostering Teenagers
Want to make a difference in a teenager’s life?
There are lots of myths about fostering older children, but the truth is, teenagers are just like any others. They need care, support, and someone who believes in them.
Many young people in care have faced difficult experiences, which can sometimes show up in their behaviour.
You won’t face those hallenges alone, we offer full training and support from our experienced Social Work team, so you’ll always have the tools and guidance you need.
Teenagers are at a key stage in life, ready to learn, grow, and prepare for independence.
With your support, they can move forward with confidence and hope.
Start your journey today.

Want to transform
the life of a teenager?
Join us: an organisation built by those who know fostering best.
Foster carers provide a loving, safe and secure family environment for children who are unable to live with their parents. Fostering gives young people opportunities they may never have had, offering them the best chance in life.
Looked-After-Children come from all different backgrounds and we try very hard to match them with foster carers who reflect their identities, which is why we need foster carers of all kinds of backgrounds and beliefs.
Whether you provide short-term, long-term or short breaks care, your support and guidance will have a positive impact on the rest of a young person’s life.
Fostering a teenager may be one of the most challenging but rewarding roles you will ever take on.
There are often misconceptions about fostering older children, but they are just the same as any other teenager and require love and support from a caring adult.
Young people in care will have come from troubled backgrounds which can sometimes result in challenging behaviour.
However, you will receive 24/7 specialist support from our Social Work team and essential training, so you feel confident enough to tackle anything.
Fostered teenagers are at a fundamental stage of life, on the verge of independence, and your guidance and support can help them make the best transition into adulthood.

Hello, I'm Sarah
Teen Fostering Adviser
0800 408 4710
I moved to London as a teenager and met my husband there, we lived happily in London, our four children were born and grew up in London, they are now adults. We recently welcomed our first grandchild. As a family we moved to the countryside in 2010 and have comfortably adapted to rural life.
I have worked within a fostering environment for eighteen years. For thirteen years I managed a contact service for "looked after children" most of whom lived in the foster homes of the agency I worked for. This involved liaising with birth parents, family members, foster carers and social workers, to ensure that contact was a positive experience for the children.
Five years ago the agency I worked for became part of Futures group and I've continued to work with them in fostering.
Please feel free to call me at a time to suit you I'm always pleased to talk about fostering, it's challenges and rewards. I look forward to hearing from you.
