Fostering
Make a real difference in a child's life
As a foster carer with East Sussex County Council, you'll open your heart and home to a child who can't live with their birth family.
As the local authority, East Sussex County Council are responsible for finding and matching a fostering placement for every single child in East Sussex who needs care, from newborns to teenagers.
