Things to consider for single parents foster carers:
Being single can be an advantage, as it means you will be able to assist where for a child that can only be placed with a male or female carer.
Consider your availability – being a single parent often means you have to take on all or a lot more of the tasks that come with everyday life. When applying it’s often important to demonstrate you have a support network in place to help you when you need it.
If you are single and work full time, you may be suited to provide short breaks or respite care for children.
