The Supervising Social Worker
Once you’re approved as a foster carer with Quality Fostering, you’ll be matched with your own dedicated Supervising Social Worker.
Ongoing support from day one.
Each Supervising Social Worker supports a small number of foster carers, allowing Quality Fostering to provide highly responsive, day-to-day assistance tailored to each carer’s needs.
You will have 24/7 access to our team. Whether you need advice, a home visit, or support attending a meeting, we’re here for you every step of the way. Your Supervising Social Worker will act as an advocate, ensuring your voice is heard and you’re never left to manage challenges alone.
Every foster carer has an Individual Agreement with their social worker. This outlines the child’s needs and the tailored support you will receive to provide the best possible care.
When a child is placed with you, your Supervising Social Worker will visit at least once a month to review progress, discuss any concerns, and make sure you have the resources you need. If extra support is needed, additional visits can easily be arranged.
Our social workers also attend all key meetings related to the child in your care- whether that’s with health professionals, schools, or the local authority- so you’re always supported and well-informed.
