Could You Foster or Adopt a Child?


Find out at information events this summer

Could you become a foster carer or adopt a child?

Three local boroughs, the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, The London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham and Westminster City Council joined their adoption and fostering services in April 2012 to provide a dedicated service for adoption and fostering.

You can find out more by going along to one of the regular fostering information events taking place this spring where you will have the opportunity to find out more about fostering in person from a social worker and/or a foster care.

The event will include a powerpoint presentation and therefore it is important to arrive at the schedule time. You will also have the opportunity to raise any questions you have with a social worker or foster care at the event.

To book a place at one of these events, you can register online or call either 0800 169 3497 or 020 8753 1057 for more information.

The next events are as follows:

Upcoming fostering information sessions

H&F Council's fostering team also holds drop-in sessions where you can find out more about fostering. You will have the chance to ask questions and discuss them with a social worker on a one-to-one basis.

Sessions are held on the first Wednesday of every month between 10am and 4pm at Hammersmith Town Hall, 1st Floor, King Street, London W6 9JU.

Please come to the reception on the first floor of the Town Hall Extension and ask to speak to a member of the fostering team, who will then come and meet you.

For people considering adoption, an information evening is being held on 2 July, from 6pm till 8pm at Kensington Town Hall, Hornton Street, where you will have the opportunity to find out more about adoption in person from a social worker and/or an adoptive parent.

The event will include a PowerPoint presentation and therefore it is important to arrive at the scheduled time. You will also have the opportunity to raise any questions you have at the event.

Places for this event are limited so book your seat here.
