Count yourself in & foster with The CFT!
The Children’s Family Trust are committed to supporting the deaf and hearing loss community to a successful career fostering children alongside us!
The smallest commitments have big impact
At The Children’s Family Trust, we know foster carers are looking for community, fun, flexible & engaging training schedules, excellent support and a full calendar of events tailored to their children’s needs.
And for those just starting out on their journey, a personalised approach with careful matching are the keys to a successful fostering career.
That’s why we pride ourselves on our ability to support the Deaf and Hearing loss community to a successful career, fostering young vulnerable people in their homes.
Each Fostering Agency or Local Authority have different support provisions for their carers, and where you may have experienced roadblocks with one provider may not be the case with us. When fostering with a registered charity, we can provide interpreters, accessible training, BSL proficient social workers, competitive financial packages and careful matching to a young person who could benefit from your strengths and transferrable skillset. When you foster with The CFT, everyone from local administrators to our CEO know our carers and their children personally, celebrating every tiny milestone they meet, together.
