Fostering Services

We assess and support our carers carefully. Our Senior Supervising Social Workers will respond promptly to any placements requests and make available any appropriate documentation necessary to assist the local authority in making an informed decision regarding a placement.

Many of our foster carers have been with us for years and have experience of caring for a wide range of children such as older teenagers, children with complex or special needs, mother and their babies, siblings etc. The foster carers we work with come from all kinds of backgrounds, cultures and ethnic groups. What they have in common is a commitment to offering a high standard of care to children and young people. 

Our well supported, committed and trained carers can provide:

  • Foster placements for children of all ages presenting challenging behaviours

  • Foster placements for unaccompanied asylum seeking young people

  • Foster placements for children with disabilities

  • Foster placements for siblings (at reduced rates)

  • Assessments of parent/s and child/ren in foster placements

  • Emergency out of hours fostering placements (subject to discussions about arrangements around service)

  • A permanency service offering long term fostering (at reduced rates), special guardianship and adoption through TACT adopters or bridging placements (see the specific section on adoption)
