Our Ethos

Enjoy Relationships That Are Nurturing & Positive

We believe quality fostering begins with care, understanding, respect and strong relationships. By working closely with foster carers, families, local authorities and other professionals, we aim to create supportive environments where individual needs are recognised and every voice is valued. Our approach reflects the importance of stability, belonging and opportunity.

A commitment to provide children a safe home, a sense of security and belongingness and preparing them for permanency and independent living.

Giving priority to the needs of children and provide appropriate care to meet the identified needs of children placed with our foster carers.

Respecting and promoting diversity both in the recruitment and selection of Foster Carers and the placement of children.

A commitment to Children’s Rights and the adoption of Child Centred Methodologies in our selection, recruitment and training of Foster Carers.

Ensuring a close liaison with all the professionals involved in decision making and working with the children in our placements through the use of an inter-professional style of working.

A commitment in the retention of Foster Carers through good remuneration, training and support and embracing foster carers as partners.

Ensuring that the experience and expertise foster carers offer and gain through fostering with Ideal Fostering are available to the children in their care.

Ideal Fostering believes that the retention of good Foster Carers is important for children in terms of continuity and consistency throughout their experience in foster care.
