A very important concept in trauma-informed care is:

“The child is not giving you a hard time, the child is having a hard time.”

Training that makes a difference
This session focused on Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) one of the many training opportunities we provide for our carers and staff.
Supporting carers with knowledge and understanding helps them better support the children in their care.

At Inspired Fostering, we’re committed to strengthening both recruitment and retention, because carers need a voice, encouragement and support that lasts.

Thinking about fostering?

You’re not alone, there’s movement at a national level to make fostering more accessible, and there’s local support ready to guide you every step of the way. From relaxing outdated barriers to increasing places for children, change is happening.

We’ll always be here to help you find your way and feel confident in becoming a foster carer.

Why Support Matters

More homes, better support.

Recent official figures show that while plans are in motion to recruit more carers, the number of carers has fallen over recent years and this can mean children being placed far from their local communities.

This is why we must:
💚Recruit new carers, and
💜Make sure existing carers feel supported, respected and listened to.

At Inspired Fostering, that’s exactly what we strive for strong support teams, ongoing training, and care for the carers themselves.

Fostering recruitment is increasing, but support still matters.

Alongside government plans to recruit more foster carers, leading fostering charities have reminded everyone that keeping carers supported and valued is just as important as bringing new ones in.

Good support helps carers stay, and that means children can stay closer to home and grow in stable family environments.

At Inspired Fostering, we believe in support before, during and after approval, so carers feel confident, valued and equipped for the rewarding role they do.

If you’re curious about fostering or want support as a current carer, call us on 01233 510807.

💚💜 Good news for fostering! 💚💜

The UK Government has recently announced plans to expand the number of foster homes by up to 10,000 places, as part of a major drive to support vulnerable children into safe, loving families.

This is a positive step forward;
It acknowledges that more carers are needed, and that fostering must be made more accessible to people from many walks of life.

At Inspired Fostering we’re encouraged by this progress, and we’re here to help answer your questions, support you through the process, and celebrate each step forward.

💚New Year. New Beginnings.💜

A new year brings fresh starts, new hopes and new possibilities.
For some children, it’s a chance for something they’ve been waiting for, safety, stability and a place to belong.

At Inspired Fostering, we believe the smallest step can lead to the biggest change.
If fostering has ever crossed your mind, maybe this is the year to explore it.

New year. New start.
A brighter future, together
