You’ll have your own supervising social worker within a fostering team that you’ll be familiar with on a first-name basis, including support workers, administrators and placement officers. We will be on the phone when you need us, and we’ll be there to keep you safe and make you feel confident as a foster carer when times are tough.
Our annual training calendar allows you to plan in advance so you can attend the courses you need to, and you’ll receive travel expenses. You’ll have membership with Foster Talk and we’ll issue you with a Max card for discounts on activities across the UK.
We are an established, trustworthy agency working hard to promote positive outcomes for the children we look after. Family Care’s approach to care giving is underpinned by the Secure base model, which is adopted in every relationship we build with carers, staff and young people.

"We have fostered through Family Care for 15 years now. That in itself should say something.
If we were asked to break that down we would say there have been highs and lows. Its not all fun and games with any children we have looked after, they are in care for a reason. If we sit back and look at our history of fostering then there would be far more highs than lows. We think about how a child was when they first came to us and then look at them now. We cant put these feelings into words except "wow, we helped that child achieve in life and become who they are".
As a Family orientated company we all try and help each other. Whether it be picking up the phone and talking through issues with another foster carer or chatting to a social worker. Someone is always available to talk to.
If you are thinking about fostering I would say pick up the phone and get some information. Talk to other foster carers. Talk to Family Care. Its a decision we have never looked back on.” Julie & Graham, Telford, Fostering with Family Care since 2005
