Understanding the impact of social distancing for foster and adoptive families
Social distancing will create additional challenges for all of us, and our families will find the changes and separation difficult in a number of ways. In the midst of this, foster and adoptive families may also be facing a few specific challenges, which Home for Good wants to help you understand.
Families of Refuge
In Bristol, Wiltshire and the London Borough of Lewisham we are piloting a new project to find homes for asylum-seeking children. Right now there are children, predominantly 16 and 17 year-old boys, waiting in various parts of Europe for a home. These are children who have fled persecution in countries such as Afghanistan, Syria, Eritrea and Sudan and are alone.
COVID-19: Help at-risk children in Bristol
Home for Good has been made aware by Bristol City Council’s fostering team that they are being put under increasing pressure by COVID-19. Bristol has an amazing group of more than 300 foster carers, many of whom have come to fostering after their birth children have grown up or following a different career. There are also many kinship caring grandparents, providing care for their grandchildren.
Events
Due to the ongoing Coronavirus outbreak, and following government guidelines, we're not currently hosting any physical events. This is to ensure the safety and well-being of both you and our team. However, we are excited to now be offering some events online! We are excited to be able to share in this way and we hope you find these online gatherings inspiring and informative.
