already fostering?

By fostering direct with your local authority you’ll be part of a team with a depth of knowledge about a child’s journey, local services and schools which will be invaluable to you as foster carers. The Foster Wales Pembrokeshire team have years of experience supporting children in need of care within the county.

If you already care for a Pembrokeshire child, by transferring to us you would be part of the local team around the child and more involved in the decisions being made about their care.

We are responsible for all children in need of care in Pembrokeshire, children of all ages. We always approach our own Foster Wales Pembrokeshire carers first, so children can remain close to home, attend their local school and maintain contact with friends and family.

In addition to dedicated support from our committed fostering team social workers, you will be supported by your fellow foster carers. Plus:

• Fostering allowance (child’s element and a carer’s element) and additional allowances for birthdays, religious holidays, and 4 weeks additional holiday allowance a year.
• Additional payments for being on the emergency rota.
• Membership of The Fostering Network with its associated discounts and services.
• Specialist advice and consultation from a dedicated psychology service.
• Peer mentoring.
• Extensive pre-approval training and regular training opportunities.
• Discounted family Pembrokeshire Leisure Pass.
• CADW membership.
