Our fostering information sessions

These sessions are a great opportunity for you to find out all about becoming a foster carer for Kirklees.

Our friendly fostering team will be able to answer all your questions. They will talk you through the process and cover everything from training to benefits. They will describe the huge differences you can make to the lives of our children and young people.
