We are urgently looking for people to foster or adopt children of all ages – especially older children or family groups – so we have put together some useful information about fostering and adoption in our dedicated pages below.

If you would like an information pack, you can phone us via Related Contacts on the right of this page or request one online by clicking on the link under Related Documents on the right of the page.

Fostering
Stockport Council urgently needs more foster carers for a variety of children of all ages but in particular carers for children aged 8+, sibling groups and children with disabilities.

Private Fostering
Private fostering is very different from the care of children provided by local councils through approved foster carers.
