At St Cuthberts Care we believe that the main role of Foster Carers is to enable children to develop to their full potential, by providing them with a positive experience of family life. As this is such an important task we work hard to ensure that Foster Carers receive a high level of support from us.
We provide all Foster Carers with -
-
A named, qualified and experienced social worker, known as a Supervisory Support Worker, who will support you and your family on an ongoing basis, by regular visits and telephone contact.
- A competitve fostering allowance which is reviewed annually.
- Access to a 24 hour, out of hours, telephone support line staffed by workers who know you and your children.
- An on-going training programme.
- On-going support groups - held in the evenings, with meetings for the YoungStars (foster and birth children of carers) at the same time.
Informal social events held throughout the year.
