62 Foster carers’ own children play an important part in the success of fostering, often being the
ones who welcome a new foster child into the home and help them to settle in.
62 </p>
63 <p>
63 But sharing their home and parents with another child/young person can be hard and foster carers
own children need support to deal with the daily challenges of growing up in a fostering family.
Discussions will need to take place about behaviour for everyone, what is acceptable and what is
not.
63 </p>
64 <p>
64 Your children depending on their age should be part of developing the Safer Caring policy so that
everyone is clear on the boundaries of everyday life to make sure everybody feels safe. See
64 <a href="safer_policy.html">
64 Developing a Safer Caring Policy
64 </a>
64 .
64 </p>
65 <p>
65 When children don’t get the support they need, a placement is more likely to break down, which
leads to more instability for fostered children.
65 </p>
66 <p>
66 You may get disagreements between your own children and fostered children but also fun friendship
and memory making for the whole family.
66 </p>
67 <p>
67 When you consider taking a child, always think about how this child will fit with your family, you
can discuss any questions you may have with your Supervising Social Worker who will want to get to
know your children so that the children feel that they can have their say with the fostering
service and that they have somewhere else to turn to if needed.
67 </p>
68 <p>
68 Remember it is important for you to spend time with your own children, think about a family
planner where you agree times, dates and activities you will do with your own children and your
fostered child. These can be separately and at times together.
68 </p>
69 <p>
69 Look out for early signs of problems arising and talk to your child and your fostered child, speak
to your Supervising Social Worker during your supervision meetings or before that if it won’t
wait. You may also look for general advice from other foster carers.
69 </p>
70 If you feel an issue is getting worse and you need some support, don’t leave it and always record
any relevant information.
