Fostering events

What are fostering events?

We are pleased to be offering our face-to-face fostering events again.

During our events we will talk through a presentation where we cover the process, the training, the support you will receive and how you can apply to be a foster carer with East Riding. You can meet members of our lovely team, children and foster carers who will be happy to help answer your questions and have a chat with you. Refreshments will be provided and children are welcome.

To book on an event or for more information please contact us: 

Email: fostering@eastriding.gov.uk or 

Tel (01482) 396673.

Where and when are the fostering events?

Drop-in events

Our drop-in events are an opportunity to drop by and have an informal chat with a member of staff. Information packs and leaflets will be available too. We hold these regularly in leisure centres, libraries or similar. Please keep checking back as we are regularly adding more events.

Can I just turn up or do I need to book?

There is no need to book, just turn up! 

Can I bring my children?

Children are welcome to come along to the information events.

I can't attend any of the events, what should I do?

If you're unable to come to one of our events but would like further information please call us on (01482) 396469 or send us a general enquiry.
