Why foster carer support matters.

We know from current research that a lack of support and fair treatment for foster carers has been closely associated with them resigning from fostering. Because of this, we offer our foster carers a robust package of dedicated, professional support including allegations support and therapeutic training to build and secure relationships with the children in their care. We are renowned for providing foster carers with an excellent level of support. We also organise and campaign with our members on the issues which matter most to them and we firmly believe that foster carers themselves are best placed to decide on how independent support should be delivered. We are opposed to the concept of organisations purporting to be "independent" who are actually funded by fostering services.
