Support and training
Support for families who foster is vital to positive outcomes for children and young people. Fostering can be challenging at times, and we offer Foster Carers support and supervision to make a positive contribution to a child or young person’s life.
We provide the following support to our Foster Carers:
Regular supervision and support from a Social Worker
Competitive financial support and annual loyalty bonus
Foster Talk membership
Out of hours telephone support
Ongoing training
Psychotherapist support
14 nights paid respite per year
Back up carer support from carer’s network
Ongoing support to birth children
Social events
Our social events are a much-loved feature of the support we offer to our Foster Carers. They enable birth children, foster children and Foster Carers to get together and have fun. Some of the events we have held outdoor activities at a local Forest School, Go Ape, Snow Dome, trampolining, Christmas parties and summer fun days.
