Barnardo's Facts
Research commissioned by Barnardo’s shows more than two in five respondents would not consider fostering because they believe age is a barrier – even though there is no upper age limit on becoming one. Furthermore, nearly one in five of respondents felt that they could not afford to become a foster carer, or that there isn’t enough financial support available for foster carers.
