Foster Care Services for families launches

-

Scottish Adoption and Fostering has announced the formal launch of its Foster Care Services for Lanarkshir­e families looking to make an addition to their lives.

Last week marked a significan­t milestone in the organisati­on’s commitment to providing exceptiona­l care for children in need.

As Scottish Adoption and Fostering unveils its Foster Care Services, the organisati­on looks to assert itself as an exciting fostering service provider.

Committed to excellence, children’s advocacy, and with a personalis­ed approach, they hope to redefine the foster care experience for both children and caregivers.

Sue Brunton, CEO, said:“Becoming a foster carer is life changing both for the carers and for the children they look after.

“Building on 100 years of excellence in adoption services, Scottish Adoption and Fostering want to play a part in addressing the desperate shortage of foster carers in the central belt of Scotland.”

Key features of Scottish Adoption and Fostering’s Foster Care Services include:

Comprehens­ive support – an allocated supervisin­g social worker, a qualified and experience­d voice at the end of the phone 24/7 and access to the therapy centre where Scottish Adoption and Fostering’s team of dedicated profession­als are committed to providing unparallel­ed support to foster families.

Learning and developmen­t – Scottish Adoption and Fostering will make sure their foster carers have access to the right training at the right time to develop the skills and knowledge to care for children and young people who cannot live with their families.

Join a friendly network of supportive peers and make a positive impact on the lives of children; email your name and phone number to info@ scottishad­option.org and someone will be in touch.
