Tusla National Fostering Week takes place from October 14th- 20th

Local events will take place in communities across Ireland.  For full details on Tusla fostering, and on public events that are being held during the week, visit https://www.fostering.ie  

Tusla has an ongoing need for foster carers, especially in the greater Dublin area and in other large urban centres around Ireland.

There are many misconceptions around who is, or isn’t, eligible to foster. Tusla currently work with foster carers who are in a same-sex relationship, are Travellers, are of African or Eastern European origin, are Muslim, have a disability, who don’t have a job currently, who rent, who are single, who are over 45, and with parents who both work. 

Members of the public can contact Tusla through fostering.ie, by contacting freephone 1800 226 771 or by emailing tusla.fostering@tusla.ie
