The Support We Provide to Foster Carers
Foster carers provide a much-needed service in looking after children and young people who are often vulnerable. At Apple Fostering, we aim to provide as much support for our foster carers as possible, so in turn, they can do an incredible job in caring for young people in the community.
Support for Foster Carers
It is important that we provide the support for foster carers that’s needed. We offer encouragement, support, and training to all of our foster carers, so that they have all the tools they need to look after the children or young people in their care, even those with complex needs. We do this by services and by offering training, advice and ongoing support.
Working With Local Authorities
At Apple Fostering we work with Local Authorities to provide high-quality, best-value, well supported fostering placements with foster carers who are trained and enabled to care for complex children and young people who encompass a variety of challenges.
When a child is placed, they will be appropriately matched giving consideration particularly to the race culture and religion of each child, the safety of each child, the skills of the carer(s), and the needs of the child. We are able to make a contribution to childcare planning meetings; childcare reviews within court proceedings, offering our assessment of the child’s needs, and provide available resources to meet these needs.
