'Sometimes Foster Carers may just need a bit of support, they’re having a difficult day, they may say is it possible to have a visit earlier than planned and we can pop out and do that, and that support is there for you should you need it. '
There are so many benefits to fostering with your Local Authority, but having a network of support from fellow Foster Carers, Social Workers and partner agencies on your doorstep is one of the biggest advantages our Foster Carers cite as to why they foster with their Local Authority.
Tune in to hear Rachel, a Fostering Team Manager from Knowsley Council explain how the Local Authority support you as a Foster Carer, and the benefit of fostering with no middle man between you and the wider network around the child.
