Whether you’re just starting to consider fostering or are already an experienced carer looking for greater support, our team is here to help you every step of the way.
Practical Support for Every Step
Fostering can be an incredibly fulfilling experience, but it comes with responsibilities that require ongoing help and advice. That’s why we provide foster carers in Wakefield with:
- 24/7 Support: Our dedicated team is always available to provide guidance or reassurance, no matter the time or situation.
- Home Visits: As a local agency, we’re able to offer regular face to face support, and we can visit you at home quickly if needed.
- Financial Support: We offer a competitive fostering allowance to help ensure you’re fully supported in your role and able to provide for the needs of your foster child.
Personalised Training and Development
We equip our foster carers with the knowledge and tools they need to provide excellent care. Our training is practical, relevant, and adapted to suit carers at all stages of their fostering journey:
- Tailored Training Programmes: Covering everything from safeguarding and trauma-informed care to supporting children in education.
- Flexible Access: Our sessions are available both online and in person to fit around your schedule.
- Ongoing Development: We work with you to set goals and offer continued learning opportunities so you can feel confident and prepared, whatever challenges fostering may bring.
Local Knowledge and Foster Carer Community
Our in depth knowledge of Wakefield and West Yorkshire means we can connect you to relevant services and resources in the area. We also help foster carers build relationships and find support among their peers:
- Peer Support Groups: Meet other local carers, share experiences, and build a sense of community with people who understand what fostering involves.
