Fostering in Connacht
Are you interested in fostering in Connacht? This page offers you some useful information about becoming a foster carer in your county.
Why do we need foster carers in Connacht?
When circumstances lead to a child or young person being taken into care, the preferred option by the HSE is to place them with a fostering family.
The trouble is, there's a shortage of foster carers in Connacht. As a result, residential placements may be the only viable option.
Therefore, Connacht needs foster carers to provide a safe, secure and stable fostering environment for children in Ireland’s care system.
So whether you’re looking to foster in Galway, foster in Leitrim or foster in Mayo, or beyond, we'd love to speak to you.
