Statutory checks

As you’d expect for working with children and young adults in need, we handle all foster care applications carefully and take the process very seriously. All of our potential carers undergo a rigorous assessment with a number of statutory checks that include:

CRB (Criminal Records Bureau)
Health and medical
Local Authority

These help us to understand your suitability to work as a foster carer, and reflect a deal of commitment and investment from both sides. Each application is reviewed on merit, and a criminal record here is not necessarily a negative indicator.
