What do local authorities say?

Here are some of the testimonials from our local authority customers across the UK:

"TACT has been at the forefront of partnership working through their service delivery on our fostering contract and consistently shown a willingness to go further than most in assisting the Council. TACT works hard to be responsive on a local level; understanding the specific needs of our looked after population, whilst at the same time, introducing good practice from their experience nationally." TACT local authority customer based in the West Midlands, February 2009

"We have good communication links with our local TACT office; there is always somebody at the end of the phone who is knowledgeable about the children and young people  that we have placed. TACT offers high quality care which is good value for money. TACT has been very responsive to the needs and requirements of this Authority. Overall, TACT demonstrates a commitment to working in partnership which ensures that positive outcomes for children and young people are achieved and placements remain stable."

"TACT has been able to offer placements for some of the most difficult young people to place within our Authority. In the majority of cases they endeavour to offer local placements where carers are able to facilitate transport arrangements for contact and school. What has impressed me most is how the agency is able to respond to emergencies or support their carers through periods of crisis. TACT has been able to support carers and work with the Local Authority to ensure that when placements are disrupted they will endeavour to offer practical solutions to safeguard the child, their carers and allow the Local Authority to plan effective transitions or alternative placements."
