Online information events

Due to the outbreak of coronavirus (COVID-19) we are now running all our information events online.

Our fostering information events are an informal opportunity to learn more about fostering and how to become a foster carer. You can hear first-hand from people who foster and learn about some of the children who need homes, all from the comfort of your living room. Social workers and foster carers will be on hand to chat and answer your questions, and we'll tell you more about the process of becoming a foster carer.

Events are currently held on Zoom but, when we can, we'll be restarting our local events around Essex. If you have any questions about our events, please call us on 0800 801 530 or send us an email at fosteringrecruitmentduty@essex.gov.uk..
