Thank you for your interest in the Shared Care Scheme. West Dunbartonshire Council is committed to providing family based respite to disabled children and their families. We need people who can offer regular breaks to disabled children and young people within the carers home.
This section will provide you with some of the information on what is involved in providing a family based respite to disabled children and their families, as well as how you can apply to become a shared carer.
Shared carers don't need to have qualifications - they need to be genuinely interested in supporting disabled children and their families. You will also need to work as part of the team in supporting disabled children and their families in meeting the child's individual needs.
Your interest in shared care is appreciated and the Fostering and Adoption Team looks forward to hearing from you.
