Thank you for considering fostering with Walsall Council
As a local authority fostering service, we are committed to helping local children and young people stay connected to their families, schools, communities and support networks.
What we offer you as a foster carer
• Competitive fostering payments and allowances
• Dedicated supervising social worker and out-of-hours support
• Local training and development opportunities
• Access to support groups and foster carer networks
• The opportunity to join Walsall's Mockingbird programme, providing practical and emotional support through a community of local foster families
This brings Walsall much closer in length and tone to the other three areas while still highlighting Mockingbird as a key differentiator.
