In London, nearly 10,000 children are in need of a foster care placement. What is being done?
"In foster care you feel underrated, you want to prove them wrong. But we can’t do that without foster carers," a former foster child has said.
Alex has completed a degree in media studies at Brunel University and his foster brother is now training to be an accountant. "We’ve become closer as a family, we communicate better, we’ve learned to love more, care more, we get involved as a family."Susan O’Brien, Hillingdon Council’s cabinet member for education and families, said: "Fostering is rewarding and a great chance to give back to the community, but it is also an excellent career choice; working in a role where you can directly change the life of a child or young person.
The former will combine six northeast London boroughs: Waltham Forest, Barking and Dagenham, Havering, Newham, Redbridge and Tower Hamlets.
