types of fostering

Short-term foster care can mean a day, a month or a year. It means the plans for a child’s future are still being made. So, as a short-term foster carer, you’re there to provide stability and support until it’s time for the next step.

You work with us on the journey to securing ‘permanence’. This means always being there to help a child while they need you, and then helping them to move on.

A short stay doesn’t mean a small impact. Short-term foster care is often the first positive change for a child, and can be the bridge to a really bright future.

Some children are unable to live at home. That’s why in Pembrokeshire, long-term foster care options are a great way to ensure the safety and development of the children in our care.

This could mean a fresh start. The beginning of a journey for you and the child you care for. An adventure filled with love and laughs, security and stability for years to come. That’s what all children deserve, and together we can provide exactly that.

Time away from everyday life can be a great help for children and their families. Short breaks make this possible.

Taking a child in overnight, during the day or at weekends – also known as ‘support care’ – can play a huge role in the growth of that child. Designed with the child’s needs at heart, a short break is a chance for them to experience new things in a safe environment, to grow and build connections.

With Pembrokeshire parent and child fostering, you share your own skills and experience with someone who really needs that support. Your insight could be invaluable to parents who aren’t quite ready to do things on their own.

We all know that in children’s formative years, their emotional and behavioural needs must be nurtured if they are to reach their potential. Therapeutic carers and their children have an extra level of support available.
