Sociological Benefit

Children who are unable to live within their own families should be given a chance to experience a positive alternative. Fostering can offer this and, in the UK, about 78% of children in care live in foster homes. Children and young people need to experience stability and nurturing which fostering can offer and it also provides the adult role models on which they can base their own future.
