Wirral Council launches campaign in support of Foster Care Fortnight (16 May 2016)
Date: 16/05/2016
Wirral Council is launching a campaign focusing on finding foster families for teenagers to mark national Foster Care Fortnight, which starts on Monday 16 May.
Teenagers are often more difficult to place with families, says the council – but every 20 minutes across the UK, a child comes into care in need of a foster family.
Wirral’s Cabinet Member for Children and Families, Councillor Tony Smith, said:
“During the two weeks of Foster Care Fortnight, it is estimated 13 new children could come into Wirral’s fostering service needing a foster family, so it’s essential we keep up the momentum to attract new families.”
Foster families, children and young people will be promoting the campaign by posting their most significant 20 minutes of the past year – and by backing the campaign on Facebook.
Wirral Council’s fostering ambassadors will also staging a series of roadshows across the region.
