Specialist foster care requires people who are willing to care for children who have higher levels of needs, on both a short and long-term basis.

You will look after children who have additional physical, emotional or educational needs. They may need to attend more doctor or school appointments. Young people in this age group often need extra guidance and consistency to help them through a tricky and emotional stage of their lives.  

Specialist foster carers receive additional training to help them look after the children in their care.
