8th September 2022
If you are interested in hearing more about becoming a foster carer or an adopter, we have a number of information events and information stands that take place throughout the year.
There is a mix of face-to-face events in local areas, as well as virtual information sessions at different times for anyone across Northern Ireland to attend, so there’s something to suit everyone.
We’ll also update our social media channels (Facebook, X and Instagram) with details of upcoming events and information stands.
Our teams would be delighted to see you and provide as much information as they can to help you make an informed decision about whether fostering or adoption is right for you and your family.
Links to the virtual sessions will be populated closer to each event.
