In order to be a foster parent you need to be an adult of the age 18 years or older and in a stable residence with a stable income, and have no criminal record. You will also have to go through other qualifying terms as per your local regulations.

Can you become a foster carer if you used to self harm?

If this was something you did in your teen years but has had no problem during your adult life, they will not hold that against you. It all depends on what type of self harm and how severe it was and so on. They make individual judgments of the foster parents not just "oh she said she cut herself when she was 14, she's out" kinda thing.
