Why Children Need Fostering
Children who need foster families are aged 0-16.
There are many reasons why children and young people might need to be accommodated with foster carers.
These can include:
- Families being unable to cope
- Parental ill-health
- Parental drug or alcohol misuse
- Abuse
- Neglect
- School attendance concerns
- Youth offending
- Abandonment
In West Lothian we need caring and committed people to foster babies, children and young people, both on a short-term and long-term basis.
