What will they ask me? What will they think of my home? What if my past isn't perfect?
It's common to have concerns when you hear the next step on your fostering journey is an initial home visit, so in this episode we sit down with Fostering Team Manager, Rachel, who explains what the real purpose of an initial visit is, what you can expect and why Local Authorities place so much importance on getting to know you, your household and your worries.
This episode offers reassurance, clarity and a practical insight into what happens when you open your door to fostering for the very first time.
