Please see below details from Essex County Council about fostering:

"Foster carers don’t think of themselves as superheroes but at Essex County Council we sure do and we’re pretty certain the children they support do too.

"Our foster carers are giving children a safe and nurturing home, perhaps for the first time. One where they can enjoy their childhood and the same opportunities all children should have.

"Training is local, support is 24/7 and your family could receive £504.71 per child, per week. You can find out more by visiting the website, calling 0800 801 530 or join our online information event on Saturday 28^th January.

"Join our fostering community today and together we can transform children’s lives.

“It’s the most rewarding job you will ever have.”
