At Foster Wales, we see everyday people, nurses, carers, police officers, social workers, and many others—step forward to become foster carers. Their professional skills and values align beautifully with what children in care need most: a caring, stable, and supportive home. 

People in caring roles know that fostering goes far beyond providing a safe place to live. It’s about nurturing a child’s emotional wellbeing, helping them heal, and supporting their happiness and growth. Empathy and patience are second nature to nurses, carers, and police officers, who spend each day putting others first and managing sensitive situations with calm and compassion. These qualities create the kind of trusting, nurturing environment where children feel truly safe and valued. 

Experience with safeguarding is another key strength. Professionals in caring careers know how to spot signs of distress, protect vulnerable people, and maintain healthy boundaries—all essential in foster care. Their background helps them respond confidently and supportively, offering reassurance both to children and to their social workers.
