Buddy fostering
Buddy foster carers become an extended part of the fostering family, providing regular breaks to foster families.
The expectation is for the Buddy respite carers to become an extended part of the fostering family network, providing at least 12 respites per year to provide the foster carers and children with a break.
This connected respite provides consistency for the children and offers the opportunity for the respite carers and children to build a relationship.
Buddy foster care can be compatible with working as it does not require you to be fostering full time.
