Foster Carers' Experiences
There is no doubt that fostering a child or young person can be challenging, but at the same time, very rewarding. Young Foundations Fostering offers foster care for children and young people with emotional and behavioural disorders, mental health problems, challenging behaviour, autism and complex needs. We value our foster carers highly and offer them the best training and support packages. Here are some of their experiences:
"Having worked for a previous agency prior to Young Foundations, I find the support network a breath of fresh air. The training opportunities offered are invaluable and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Young Foundations to others thinking of fostering." Jo
"I have been with Young Foundations since early November 2006. In February this year I was experiencing difficulty with the young person in my care and was given the full support of the agency who arranged respite care for a week, after just one phone call. Everything went very smoothly and after taking time out, allowed the young person to settle down again and things returned to normal." Beth
"I have been an agency foster carer for over six years now and am glad I made the decision to move from the previous agency. I now feel my fostering skills are recognised and am listened to and appreciated." - Anna
