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, who will support you and your family on an ongoing basis, by regular visits and telephone contact
-
A competitive 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 in all aspects of fostering which can include an NVQ qualification relevant to their role
-
On-going support groups – held in the evenings; with meetings for the YoungStars (foster and birth children of carers) at same time
-
Informal social events held throughout the year
