Not an application — just a helpful first step
At Wholistic Fostering, we welcome carers of all identities, backgrounds, and abilities. Whether you're single, married, renting, or a homeowner — what matters most is your capacity to care.
This quiz takes less time than brewing a cup of tea. It's designed to be quick, clear, and judgment-free. Be honest — the results are for your benefit, to help you decide if now is the right time to explore fostering more seriously.
As soon as you finish, you’ll receive instant, personalised feedback. We’ll help you understand where you stand, and if there’s anything you might want to consider or prepare for next. No jargon, no confusion — just clarity.
If your results show fostering could be right for you — or even if you’re still unsure — you’ll have the option to leave your contact details. One of our friendly local team members will be happy to give you a call, talk things through, and answer your questions with care.
"We're not just foster carers - we're part of something bigger. That sense of being valued, connected and supported...that's what Wholistic Fostering means to us"
