Make a difference and foster a child today!
So, why choose Fosterplus Scotland?
Founded in 1996, for over 25 years we have been providing a positive and stable environment for children and young people across the country.
At Fosterplus we pride ourselves on creating enjoyable and memorable fostering experiences for both the child and foster parents. We are well aware that the decisions made today will have an impact on children and young people tomorrow. This is why we think long term, even for short term placements.
A careful, considered approach
Everything we do is done with careful thought and consideration – from the initial matching of foster parents with children, through to the training we give. Our work is designed to keep foster families together and to provide stability and certainty.
Regular placement opportunities
We’ve been carefully matching foster parents with children for over 25 years, during which we’ve built strong connections with many local authorities. This means you can rely on us to always find the right match when you're ready to welcome a child into your home.
Great outcomes for children
This is what fostering’s all about and we’re especially proud of our track-record – a real testament to our approach and commitment to continuity. This is reflected in our excellent Care Inspectorate reports, as well as the feedback we receive from local authorities.
