The Fostering Service aims to provide high quality Foster Care placements where each child will have stability, secure and a warm, safe nurturing environment in which they can develop and thrive.

The service is committed to the aims of meeting the placement needs of current and future children looked after and care leavers.

We support positive outcomes through understanding the assets and needs of our children looked after and care leaver population, current provision, and identify measures that need to be put in place to ensure that there is an appropriate range of provision to meet future projected need.

In commitment of permanence and ambition to find the right placement for children looked after we aim to reduce the number of placements out of the borough and in residential care.

We strongly believe that family-based care in their own communities is usually the right option for children and young people whether that is with a special guardian, foster carer, or connected person and improves outcomes for our children and young people.
