Surrey County Council encourages residents to foster

Surrey CC as part of a national incentive has launced a campaign to encourage more of us to become foster carers.

Currently only 42% of fostered children in Surrey are placed with in-house foster carers and the Council is hoping to raise this to 70%. Problematically, almost half of these live outside of the county, far away from family, friends and schools, hence the need for more carers.

A moving short film, funded by over 80 Councils is here.

For more information you can telephone Surrey Fostering Service 0800 096 9626 or via email at fostering.recruitment@surreycc.gov.uk or by visiting the website: www.surreycc.gov.uk/fostering. You can also connect with them on social media via @surreyfostering
