Southend-on-Sea City Council

Welcome to Southend-on-Sea's fostering enquiry form. We are proud to be part of Foster East.

Our amazing foster carers are provided with the best local support and training to help make sure they can give safe, secure homes to the children they care for. We offer council tax exemption* to our foster carers, who live in and outside of our city, as part of our commitment to financially support them and make fostering affordable. Enquire now and find out more about joining our fostering community. *subject to eligibility criteria.
