Congratulations🥰💥 to our newest foster family approved today. We are delighted to welcome another family to our network of foster carers and we look forward to supporting them on their journey as they open their home to a child in need. #fostercarer #FosteringChangesLives
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

Great advice, couldn’t agree more!

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 National Foster Carer Qualifications (NFCQ) are a comprehensive education pathway to promote positive sustainable change for children in care and recognise the skilled role of the foster carer

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
#fostercare #fostercarer
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
#FosterCare #FosterCarer #FosterFamily #ProfessionalismInCare
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

Being a foster carer isn’t easy!Balancing emotional support with professional responsibility can be tough, but seeing a child happy and achieving makes it the most rewarding role

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
#FosterCarer #FosterFamily
#MoreThanASpareRoom #FosterCareAwareness
It’s been a privilege to be part of their story and to watch them step into a brighter future—one that is so much better with them in it

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

Being a foster carer isn’t easy. Children often come with hurt, fear and anger, and this can make it hard to connect. But with determination, patience, understanding, and great support, even the toughest days can lead to breakthroughs

Money does matter! Foster carers should never be afraid to talk about money they have bills to pay just like everyone else and for the vast majority of carers fostering is a full-time job #fostercarer
