As a valued member of our Wholistic Fostering family, you’re not just part of our team of foster parents; you’re a unique individual with your own characteristics, strengths, and personal needs. We dedicate time to truly understand you, supporting you in both significant moments and in the everyday.

At Wholistic Fostering, we place immense value on relationships and on nurturing your growth both personally and as a foster parent. Our entire philosophy is centered on recognizing your individuality, ensuring that if you have specific needs, we collaborate closely with our team to meet them.

The support we provide for our foster carers includes:

• A Personal Social Worker: You’ll have a dedicated social worker who will visit you at least monthly, or more often if necessary. This relationship is foundational, offering you a consistent source of listening, advice, and support to ensure you have the assistance you need.
• A Comprehensive Multi-Disciplinary Team: Our team includes social workers, family support workers, psychologists, therapists, and educational advisers. We unite as one extensive family, all working together with the singular goal of enabling children to lead the lives they deserve.
• Extensive Training Support: From your initial induction through to ongoing specialised training courses, we’re committed to providing a thorough training programme. Our aim is to empower you to become the most effective foster parent possible.
• Around-the-Clock Helpline: Our 24/7 helpline ensures you always have access to urgent support, regardless of the time.
• Community Events: We regularly organize events to connect you with other foster parents within our network. These gatherings are designed to help you build invaluable support groups and networks in your local area.

Each of these support facets is designed to enrich the most crucial relationship of all: the one between you and the children and young people in your care.
