Thinking of fostering children? Find out if you can here

You may have been thinking about becoming a foster carer for some time, or it might be something that you have recently decided to investigate. Our foster carers come from a wide range of backgrounds, cultures and ethnic groups. We believe the most important criteria for becoming a foster carer is your ability to listen and empathise and to provide a safe, stable and loving home for the children you care for.

To be able to start your journey with TACT, we do ask that you meet the following criteria:

  • You must be over 21 years old
  • You must have a spare bedroom
  • You must have the time and availability to dedicate yourself to caring for children

Transfer to TACTThere are many reasons why existing foster carers may consider transferring from their local authority or agency. At TACT, our ‘fast-track’ assessment process will make transferring to us easy and stress free. Take a look at our dedicated transfer section – we’re here to answer any questions you may have.

Find out about our foster fees and allowancesOnce you are approved as foster carer and begin caring for a young person, you will receive an allowance. The amount you receive will vary based on a number of factors, including the number of children, their age and the complexity of their needs.
