Fostering, adoption and looked after children

Picture this... foster. Foster carers and children enjoying a meal.

 

Adoption

Adoption is a way of providing a new family to children who cannot be brought up by their own parents.

Fostering

There's a real need for more foster carers across the borough of Rochdale.

You'll receive training, excellent support and from £165 - £500 per child per week. We need more people to come forward - please read the information on the fostering pages and find out if it's right for you.

Looked after children

The best place for children to be is with their families. Sometimes, for a number of reasons, children aren't able to live with their families; we provide services in these cases.

Every Child Matters

Change for Children is the new approach to the well-being of children and young people from birth to age 19.
