ANYONE who has considered fostering a child can gain advice and support at a drop-in session on Saturday.
Worcestershire County Council is holding the session at Malvern Library on Graham Road between 10am and 12.30pm.
During the session there will be a chance to meet with social workers and current foster carers.
The council is especially looking to hear from people who are able to foster children aged 11 to 17 years old.
Councillor Liz Eyre, cabinet member for children and families, said: "Finding more people who are able to become foster carers, kinship carers and adopters is vitally important to help children and young people grow up in happy, secure home and have the best possible start in life.
"The teenage age group is a particularly important stage. Input at this point is vital to the successful transition of young people to adult life."
