Types of Placements

by Lorna Blakey • 20 Nov, 2023

Every child or young person in care has unique needs. At Regional Fostering Services, we understand the importance of tailoring foster care to meet those individual requirements. Here's a glimpse into the different types of placements we offer: Sibling Groups: 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Keeping brothers and sisters together in foster care is crucial for their stability and security. Your support can make a significant impact on their lives. Parent & Child:👨‍👧 Offering a safe and secure home for a parent and their child. Specialist foster carers play a vital role in guiding and supporting parents to create a stable and nurturing environment. Enhanced funding and support are provided for these placements. Long-Term:🏡 Commit to fostering on a long-term basis, providing stability and security for a child or young person. We have a high long-term and perm fostering rate, meaning that our children are very well supported by our foster carers and our team, which often leads to children remaining long term or permanently. Short-Term:⏳ Foster children on a short-term basis, ranging from 24 hours to several years, depending on the child's plan. At RFS we have a high long-term and perm fostering rate, meaning that our children are very well supported by our foster carers and our team, which often leads to children remaining long term or permanently. Children With Disabilities:🤝 We are seeking foster carers with relevant healthcare experience to provide specialised care for children with disabilities or medical conditions. Enhanced funding and support are available to meet the unique needs of these children. Teenagers: 🌟 Make a difference in the lives of older children and teenagers who have faced difficulties at home. With time, patience, honesty, and love, you can help them flourish and overcome past challenges. If you're considering fostering and want to explore these rewarding opportunities, contact our friendly team for a quick chat on 0800 246 5111 or request an info pack.
