The perfect carer

… doesn’t exist! You can be gay, retired, single, renting, or have children of your own.

The most important thing is that you have the patience, stability and openness to welcome a child into your home. 

While there are some essentials all carers need, CASPA gladly welcomes carers from a diverse range of backgrounds and lifestyles, and provides you with the training and support you need to navigate challenges along the way.

Empathy essentials

  • Sparkling Stars Blue

    I am motivated to help children and young people thrive.

  • Family Icon Simple Blue

    I want to treat a child in my care as an equal member of my family.

  • Simple Home with Heart Icon Blue

    I want to help young people return safely to their families.

  • Jar of Love Blue

    I am willing to look after myself so I can best look after a child.

  • Hands Holding Heart Blue

    I can help a child navigate big feelings about being in care.

  • Clock Icon Blue

    I can dedicate my time and energy to being with a young person.
