To overcome user concerns over payment methods, all chargepoints will have
alternative access with a minimum payment method (a non-proprietary and non-

Need more landlords

There are several initiatives which aim to work with landlords to provide much-
needed housing to families across the Dorset Council area. The housing service is
appealing to willing landlords to partner the council and benefit from the
assistance the council can give. Please look at the Dorset website for further
information.

Foster with Dorset Council
A note from a foster carer “If anyone is thinking about fostering, I’d say don’t
hesitate to investigate it, don’t be put off making that initial phone call. Just be
open with things that you’re worried about as they probably won’t stop you
being a foster carer. Just pick up the phone and make that enquiry. “Every
circumstance is different from one person to another, but the process is so
thorough that if you have the slightest inkling that this might be what you want to
do then give it a go.”
Our fostering service puts the children who need loving, local foster homes at the
heart of everything we do. The key focus is on keeping local children close to their
schools, friends and birth families. Our foster carers transform the lives of children
and young people by opening their hearts and homes to those who need it the
most. At present, demand for foster carers in Dorset is high – especially for Dorset Property Care
teenagers and sibling groups.
