Fostering with South Tyneside Council

How to find out more

Fostering Information Sessions

If you've ever thought about fostering, come along to find out more about fostering with South Tyneside Council at one of our online question and answer sessions.

The sessions take place every Wednesday at 11am to 12noon and 6pm to 7pm.

Grab a cup of tea and join us for an informal chat with our Fostering Social Workers, who will be on hand to answer questions you may have about the application process, support and training that you will receive and what life is like as a foster carer.

Please email fostering@southtyneside.gov.uk and we will send you the link to join us.

You can also book a place by calling the team on 07744 3250695 or 0191 423 8500.

Please note the session will be held on Microsoft Teams.

We look forward to seeing you there.
