The agency says his life would be transformed had he the opportunity to live with a foster family.
Tusla is issuing an urgent appeal for a foster carer for a child in the midlands.
The child and family agency says Scott*, a very affectionate young boy, has autism and moderate learning needs.
It's appealing to anyone who thinks they have the capacity to care for Scott and can provide a loving and stable home, to get in touch.
Tusla says Scott’s life would be transformed if he had the opportunity to live with a foster family - and it will provide bespoke support and training to help with his specific care.
Principal Social Worker with Tusla Jarlath McKee outlines what the process can involve:
Applicants interested in fostering Scott can contact Tusla’s national freephone fostering number 1800 226 771 or email tusla.fostering@tusla.ie. More details on Tusla fostering services can be found on fostering.ie.
*Scott is not this boy’s real name.
