Could you foster a child like Ben?*
Ben, aged 17, entered foster care when his mum became too ill to care for him. They still have regular contact and have a good relationship.
Ben is currently studying for an NVQ in catering, an interest both his birth mum and his current short-term foster carer have encouraged him to follow.
He’s gained a great deal of confidence during his time at college and is working really hard to gain his qualification.
Although Ben turns 18 in 5 months’ time, he is hoping to find a stable home match to support him through the rest of his time in education.
