May 20, 2025

People across Perth and Kinross are being encouraged to consider if they could provide a safe, supportive foster home for a child or young person.

A new recruitment campaign to help find more foster carers has been launched to mark the start of Foster Care Fortnight which runs from May 12 to 26.

The Scottish Government campaign, which was announced by First Minister John Swinney aims to support the recruitment of more Local Authority foster carers and raise awareness of the benefits of fostering, encouraging people in Perth & Kinross to consider if they could support a child or young person in the care system.

The Fostering Network estimates that Scotland needs at least 400 additional foster carers.
