LGBT Adoption and Fostering Week
2021-03-01 - 2021-03-07 | Berkshire
LGBT Adoption and Fostering Week (1-7 March) is a week dedicated to breaking down some of the perceived barriers to adoption and fostering. The week is organised by New Family Social – the UK network for LGBT adoptive and foster families.

Across the UK there is a desperate need for more adopters and foster careers to come forward and open up their homes to some of the country’s most vulnerable children and young people. Slough is no different. At Slough Children’s Services Trust we need more people to provide a loving, nurturing home to our children and young people in Slough, somewhere where they can be safe, secure and successful.

One of the issues we face, however, is that many people have preconceived ideas of what makes the typical adopter and foster carer and who can or cannot become one.

Being LGBT+ is certainly no barrier. In fact, last year, 1 in 6 adoptions in England were to same-sex couples. Of course, just to break down another barrier, you don’t even need to be part of a couple – single adopters and foster carers are welcome too.

To become a foster carer or adopter, all you need is the ability to look after a child, so if you’ve got a room in your home and room in your heart then we’d love to hear from you.

If you feel inspired and you are interested in becoming a foster carer then please email foster@sloughchildrenfirst.co.uk, phone 01753 690777 or text FOSTER to 60066.

If you are interested in finding out more about adoption then please email adopt@sloughchildrenfirst.co.uk or phone 01753 787628.

Alternatively you can complete the form below.

One of our advisors would be happy to talk to you about fostering or adoption in more detail and perhaps start you on an exciting new journey.

Fostering Business Breakfast
2019-11-21 10:00 - 11:30 | Ipsen, 190 Bath Road, Slough, SL1 3XE, United Kingdom
Are you a foster friendly employer? You’re sure to have various parental policies but the chances are you don’t have one for staff who are foster carers or wish to become one. At a time when there is a record number of children in care and a national shortage of foster carers, this is more important than ever.
Businesses like yours can really help make the difference, showing themselves to be community-focussed and inclusive by becoming foster friendly. What’s more, becoming foster friendly could also mean you expand your talent pool. With this in mind…
Slough Children’s Services Trust would like to invite you to a foster friendly business breakfast, on Thursday 21 November, at Ipsen, 190 Bath Road, Slough, SL1 3XE, from 10-11.30am. You will hear from a working foster carer, Ipsen’s Employee Relations Manager and SCST’s Chief Executive. We will also have a foster friendly employee policy to share with you.
Please RSVP to comms@sloughchildrenfirst.co.uk if you’re able to attend. We hope to see you there!
Please also see our ‘Working with business to change lives‘ page, which tells you more about the work we do with Slough’s vulnerable children and how you can get involved as a local employer.
