FOSTER CARE PLACEMENT TEAM
OUR FOSTER CARE PLACEMENT TEAM:
The placement team works closely with all Local Authorities to promote our foster carers and respond to all referrals. When they receive a suitable referral, they compare it to your approval terms and preference, contact you to discuss the referral and then contact the local authority to progress this further. The team will keep you fully informed at all times.
Referrals for placements are dependent on the relevant fostering agency holding framework contracts or tenders with Local Authorities. We hold excellent positions on frameworks due to our quality of service, Ofsted rating and cost effective outcomes
