Ofsted Outstanding Provider
We’ve been Rated Outstanding
By Ofsted since we were founded

Placing agencies have confidence that the agency will deliver what they say they can. More than one placing social worker said that the services their child receives are "excellent".

These Include:

  • Medium or long term placements;
  • Placements for unaccompanied minors;
  • Placements for children with special needs;
  • Sibling placements;
  • Parent & child placements.

We have foster carers from different cultural and ethnic backgrounds, that can offer suitable placements for unaccompanied minors.

We assess and support our foster carers carefully. Our senior supervising social workers will respond promptly to any placements requests and make available any appropriate documentation necessary to assist the local authority in making an informed decision regarding a placement.

The majority of our foster carers have been fostering for years, and have experience of caring for a wide range of children such as older teenagers, children with complex or special needs, parents and babies, siblings etc.

What our foster carers have in common is tenacity and a commitment to offering a high standard of care to children and young people.

Our well supported, committed and trained foster carers can provide:

  • Foster placements for children of all ages presenting challenging behaviours
  • Foster placements for unaccompanied asylum seeking young people
  • Foster placements for children with disabilities
  • Foster placements for siblings (at reduced rates)
  • Assessments of parent/s and child/ren in foster placements
  • A permanency long term fostering
