It is a priority for us that every placement works, so we encourage our carers to say no when they feel it is not right for them or their family. We want to equip our carers with skills to meet the fostering task presented to them so they can be respected as co-professionals.
Through careful matching of the individual needs of children to our foster carers and by providing creative support, we look forward to celebrating all the achievements our young people make.
We were proud to receive a “good” rating from Ofsted in 2024.
“Children benefit from positive relationships with their foster carers and make good progress from their starting points. Children feel part of the family and that their foster carers help them.”
When a young person first goes into care, it is one of the most uncertain, confusing and upsetting times in a child’s life. We do our best to help them settle into their new fostering families with introductions before they move in where possible. Our foster families promote a warm, welcoming environment and we try to answer all of their questions.
Here are the guides we provide to children and young people to help them understand why they are in care and what that entails:
