The Highland Council Fostering and Adoption Service

Foster Care Fortnight 2025 is taking place from Monday 12th to Sunday 25th May 2025.

Highland Council is supporting Foster Care FortnightTM 2025

The Council needs foster carers who can look after infants, younger children, teenagers and brothers and sisters to keep them together, in an emergency and on a temporary basis or provide respite for children in their local community, who have a disability.

The local authority also needs permanent carers for older children so they can remain with these carers for the remainder of their childhood. Highland's foster carers also support each other and share skills and expertise.  

Highland needs Foster Carers like you. Join the MS Teams online sessions during Fostering Fortnight. Come along and see how you can support local families:
