Foster carer support
Delivering a high level of foster carer support is essential to the success of a fostering placement.
Foster carers are expected to be diligent, resilient and persistent under what can be difficult and challenging circumstances. For this reason, we appreciate that appropriate foster carer support and training is vitally important in the success of a foster care placement. We pride ourselves in providing creative and flexible support for young people and their foster carers.
Support for foster carers includes professional counselling and support services offered individually to young people who are experiencing severe emotional difficulties.
