Barnardo's Scotland Fostering (Glasgow)

We recruit foster carers to provide placements to local authorities for young people aged 0 to 18 on an emergency, short break, interim, long term and permanent basis. We offer comprehensive training and support, as well as access to therapeutic support. We also provide continuing care placements.

When life gets tough or unsafe at home, some children and teenagers need a caring adult to look after them until things can get better. That's why we find, prepare, train and support foster carers. We offer different types of foster care to make sure we can support and meet each child’s individual needs. This can range from offering a short, planned break to giving a child a stable and loving family setting for several months or years.

Leaving home can be a challenge for anyone, but it can be even tougher if you’re a young person leaving care. We support young people with their transition to independent living, by offering advice, supported lodgings and help getting a job.
