A therapeutic approach
In our experience, when a child or young person’s internal working models are understood and foster carers are supported to understand the child’s lived experiences, a foster care placement is far less likely to break down.
Our residential staff are supported by play therapists, and educational psychologists to understand each young person’s care needs.
From there, we proactively recruit, identify and assess foster carers who we know, with our training and support, can offer a stable home for the young person to thrive.
Growing communities of foster carers
With our support, local authorities significantly grow their internal pool of in house foster carers for children and young people.
Every foster carer receives excellent training and support beyond the expected foster carer assessment and approval process. Our focus is on preparing foster carers who understand the child’s journey and lived experience through therapeutic parenting, which increases placement stability.
How we work
Although each model is bespoke to the Local Authority, we work in one of three ways:
1. By taking children and young people through our Therapeutic Residential Care model, which transitions those with complex care needs from our residential care into foster care.
2. By recruiting and assessing foster carers with an understanding of the skills required for our children and young people.

Our inhouse marketing and specialist foster carer recruitment team creates compelling, highly-targeted foster carer recruitment campaigns.
In collaboration with local authority partners, our marketing team creates campaigns that engage and inspire potential foster carers to make contact.
We employ a wide range of techniques from graphic design, websites, and films to multimedia management and direct marketing.
Outcomes-focused
Being social work-led, we care about the numbers because behind each number is a young person.
We are also fully aware of the budgetary constraints local authorities must work to and how our fostering solutions fit into this.
