Fostering People

Reviews

1. Shaun Tasker ★★★★★

   We’ve been fostering with Fostering People for almost a year now, and the journey to get here has been genuinely great. From our very first enquiry, we felt welcomed and informed. The open, honest conversations about what to expect, the engaging training sessions, and the clear guidance through the assessment process all made us feel confident and supported. The entire process—from start to finish—took around 4–6 months, and at no point did we feel overwhelmed or unsure of what was happening next. The joining process itself was incredibly well-structured and supportive. Every step was explained in detail, and every question we had was met with patience and understanding. The referral system has also been exceptional. Fostering People take real care to ensure that any match is the right fit not just for the child, but for us as a family. They look carefully at everyone’s needs and dynamics, which gives placements the best possible chance of success. Our supervising social worker (Emma) has been an absolute lifeline—knowledgeable, compassionate, and always there when needed. Whether it’s offering practical advice, emotional support, or simply checking in to make sure we’re okay, their presence has made a huge difference to our fostering journey. If you’re thinking about becoming a foster parent, we truly can’t recommend Fostering People enough. Their professionalism, warmth, and genuine dedication to both children and carers shines through in everything they do.

   I’ve been fostering with FP for over 8years. In our 1st year we had some exceptional circumstances with the kids we were fostering. FP totally stood up to the plate & have done ever since. Always supportive through difficult times & encouraging when times are good. Personable. Available. Professional. I would certainly recommend them for their rigour to enforce standards that children are well & safely cared for & carers are adequately trained to do so.

   We have been with Fostering People for over 7 years now, and throughout that time I have not one negative thing to say about them. They have always been fully supportive, caring and appreciative of the work we do. Our Social Worker and every other Social Worker and member of the Management team we have come across have shown these qualities and more. Coupled with professionalism and numerous training and development opportunities, I would not hesitate to recommend them.
