Why?
Welcome to JewishFostering.org.uk
JewishFostering.org.uk is a volunteer-led, non-profit organisation.
It is being setup as a pre-fostering information resource to assist Jewish potential foster carers to discover what fostering is all about from a Jewish perspective, to understand exactly what is involved in fostering and to help potential foster carers understand the joys, the commitment, and what financial and other support is available. A register of approved foster carers, a guide to Judaism for non-Jewish professionals, social workers etc, latest fostering news, a blog and more...
We are currently concentrating on a specific need within the orthodox community.
There are times when children can no longer live with their families and need to be placed with other families. It is vital that when the foster child is placed with a family, his/her religious observance and style of upbringing can be closely matched.
When it comes to the placing of Orthodox children, we need a choice of foster carers, an instantly-available pool of approved, orthodox foster carersthat both culturaly and religiously closely match the childs needs e.g. Ashkenazi and Sephardi, traditional, Orthodox, ultra-Orthodox, Chassidish etc.
Regretfully, due to the lack of orthodox, approved foster carers, the fostering authorities often have no choice but to place orthodox children in either non-orthodox or non-Jewish carers. No longer with their families, these children already have serious emotional and other problems – being placed with families that have a different ‘religious approach’ adds deeply to their trauma.
(Please note that while JewishFostering.org.uk will in the future be assisting the wider Jewish community, we are currently concentrating on this particular issue).
If you are considering fostering and would like more information or have any questions, please contact us: info@jewishfostering.org.uk
P.S. If fostering is not for you but you are able to support this vital work with a donation or sponsorship, please do get in touch. Any financial assistance would be greatly appreciated.
