After we've visited you at home, we'll leave you to complete a fostering application form. Once this has been accepted, we'll assign you an assessor. This person will produce your assessment and take you through to panel. The process of becoming a foster carer takes around 4 months. During this time, the assessor will produce a report that assesses your suitability
