Help for foster carers

You'll have a supervising social worker to speak to whenever you need help. They'll discuss any questions you have and direct you to where you can find support.

Get advice and information on foster care from the Fostering Network in Scotland.

Contact their Fosterline Scotland helpline on 0141 204 1400 (Monday to Friday, 10am to 4pm).

Check your local council's website for foster care support in your area.
