How to contact the Fostering and Adoption Team

The pages on the right hand side explain all about becoming a foster carer or an adopter. However, if you would prefer our information pack which is the same as these web pages please see below on how to contact us.

If you’d like to find out more about becoming an adopter or a foster carer call us for a chat on 0191 3706149 (fostering) or 0191 370 6100 (adoption)

You can also email us:

For fostering: fostering@durham.gov.uk

or for adoption: adoption@durham.gov.uk

or if you do not have access to e-mail please contact Social Care Direct who will forward your message to the relevant team.

You can also apply online if you are interested in being a foster carer.

You can also register your interest online if you wish to adopt.
