Foster Care Services

Fostering services provide for both mainstream and specialist foster care in small supportive groups across England and Wales for children with disabilities. We also provide foster care family assessments in the home rather than in a residential setting. Fostering is an important part of our Care Pathway and considerably less expensive than residential care. It is a generally held view that fostering in an ordinary family home delivers better quality than any residential setting.

We are training our foster carers with the skills required to manage placements that are more complex and have linked Foster Care Services with our Children’s Services residential team to provide an effective Care Pathway.
