Orange Grove Fostercare appreciates that ‘assessment’ is a daunting word. Many applicants will not have completed written papers since they left school and for some people the thought of the application process will deter them from Fostering. This is a shame.

Orange Grove Fostercare will work through every part of the application process with you. Your assessment is not an academic test, it is a necessary and important part of your application process to assess whether you are a suitable and safe person to provide a Foster home for vulnerable children.

Please find below a flowchart which details the application process. Further details are documented in our ‘Frequently Asked Questions’ brochure.
