Our Fostering Community
Posted 16 May 2023
We strive to empower everyone within our community, with a voice that is heard and feelings that are supported. We provide the highest level of support to each and every carer regardless of their placement status. With low caseloads, our supervising social workers will know you personally and help you through your fostering journey.
One fostering family expresses their gratitude to the support of Footprints social workers,
” Our needs are met through the support of our supervising social worker who listens to us, guides us and advocates for us when we need it. “
In our small group of carers at Footprints Foster Care, no one is a stranger meaning you get to know everyone. There can be a great sense of collaboration and support among carers that most of the time are going through similar experiences.
That is why we ensure that support groups are focused on the carers; it is a time to chat, express their feelings, and receive advice. These monthly support groups continuously prove beneficial for our carers.
” Footprints are very supportive. They have a monthly support group where you mix with other carers and there is a lot of training on offer. “
Engaging the whole network of foster carers within Footprints goes beyond the carers themselves. Our community encompasses the children at the heart of all families, both birth children and foster children are recognised with fun days out and events so you can be sure that with Footprints Foster Care no one is forgotten!
We would love to welcome you into our community. If you would like some more information, please do not hesitate to get in touch with one of the team.
