Some children have special needs and often have physical or learning disabilities, which will need extra care and attention. The number of unaccompanied asylum seekers is rising and some children come to this country completely alone, not understanding the language and are left in an extremely frightening position.
Sadly, many of the children and young people who need fostering in Wakefield will have suffered traumatic experiences and will need your understanding and patience. Whether it's for a short time while family issues are resolved or long-term care for more complex cases, you could change a child or young person's life for the better.
Children and young people—ranging from tiny babies to teenagers nearing adulthood—need fostering in Wakefield. You can discuss which age range you would prefer to foster with our team and you can specialise within a specific age range.
