Campaign to recruit more carers

A council has embarked on a campaign to recruit more foster carers.

Highland will advertise on television, in newspapers and use posters mounted on mobile trailers in an effort to get more people to come forward.

Its drive, called Me Too, will also see the distribution of 4,000 leaflets in the region.

In the Highlands there are 120 children staying with foster carers, which is almost twice as many as those in residential care.
