Long-term fostering involves foster carers providing care for children over extended periods, often into adulthood. This arrangement ensures greater stability for children from a young age up to 18 and beyond, whenever feasible.
Long-term fostering involves a commitment that ensures children experience consistency, belonging, and security throughout their childhood and formative years. For some children, this may be their first encounter with a stable and caring home environment.
