Entering foster care expecting only to parent is misguided. Foster carers must understand trauma-informed care, delegated authority, and work respectfully with birth parents. It’s entirely different from biological or step-parenting

💙 Do not believe the negativity and stigma directed at foster carers – They step up when children need them most.

💙 Support foster carers – Recognise their dedication and the difference they make in children’s lives.

Reunification and the role of the Foster Carer | FosterWiki Reunification is the reunion of children and young people with their parents or birth family when they return to live with them

Where appropriate and possible,social workers follow a ‘reunification framework’ as part of the child’s care plan

This is why it is so essential that foster carers fully understand their role and manage their expectations

The rise of other providers and the lack of collaboration for children’s sake is shameful. We should be working together, but instead, the system remains fragmented!

I’m not phased, I will continue to speak out, until there is meaningful change, but I am sad and frustrated! I care deeply about these children and adults and way past 18. Occasionally, I meet others who share this commitment, but these moments are now rare

Social media exposes how carers are dismissed for speaking out, shattering morale. Unhelpful changes within local authorities have eroded trust and the family feel of fostering. Despite promises of reform, carers doing the work are rarely acknowledged, and nothing changes.

Isn’t it time for real change? Foster carers could have a Central licensing body. This would bring consistency and support for all foster carers. It would benefit both foster children and carers. It’s possible, it can be done.

While everyone who fosters children should have the right to define their role as they see fit, it’s essential to distinguish between our interactions with children and our professional responsibilities, including the language we use

I’m often asked the hardest part of being a foster carer. For me, it’s the early days—sticking with a child no matter what and building trust. Children deeply let down by those they should rely on. It takes time for trust to grow

Living with children in care means emotional involvement is inevitable. You become part of their lives—their struggles, their victories, their heartaches—and it’s impossible not to care deeply. It’s a roller coaster of emotions

Some days were heartbreaking, seeing a child struggle to believe in themselves, saying goodbye when it was time for them to move on, or facing systems that didn’t always make things easy. Yet every challenge reminded us why we chose this path—to make a difference, no matter how small

So why not shift to a more realistic, responsible advertising approach? The answer lies partly in marketing departments that lack insight into fostering
