Anyone who's considered becoming a foster carer can find out more at two local events today.
The county council needs to recruit more people who're willing to give a temporary or long-term home to a child or young person.
The council says it's not a problem if you're not married, are not well off or already have children.
There'll be an information stand in the Guildhall shopping centre all day today, and an open session for meeting social workers and foster carers at the Kenn Centre in Kennford this evening.
