Type of Fostering

This is basically a short-term fostering. A child or young person in a bridging placement may be awaiting a more permanent placement such as a long term foster family, or a family assessment centre. The period of this type of fostering placement could be anything from a few days to weeks or months, whilst plans are made for the future of the child with the relevant Local Authorities or social services departments.<br><br>https://ukfostering.org.uk/about-us/

  1. About UK Fostering UK Fostering is an independent fostering agency and was set up by a team of dedicated professionals who are passionate about changing the lives of children. Our aim is to provide children and local authorities with fully trained, compassionate and competent foster care, when they need it most.

  2. How UK Fostering Works We are a fostering service provider used by local authorities in London & the South East, The Midlands, the North West of England and the North East. Foster carers are in huge demand, and local authorities often find they have more children awaiting foster homes than they can accommodate through their own pool of foster carers. We address this problem, providing children with warm, loving foster families through various different placement types, from emergency fostering to long term solutions and more specialised placements such as therapeutic or remand fostering.

  3. Our Fostering Services The foster carers at UK Fostering have a range of skills and expertise. All fostering families undergo our extensive training programme which is designed to provide them with the tools for a range of different placement types and situations. In addition we offer a support structure which ensures there is always someone available should they need to address any issues or concerns. We believe this is fundamental to the level of care we provide to children and young people. For more information on the different services and fostering placements we offer, please see our Services page.

  4. Types of Fostering Types

  5. Emergency Fostering This is a placement that is made within 24 hours of it being requested, and where there has been no prior plan. UK Fostering provides a 24-hour emergency service for urgent cases such as these. Ideally an emergency placement should not exceed two weeks.

  6. Short-term fostering & bridging placements This is basically a short-term fostering. A child or young person in a bridging placement may be awaiting a more permanent placement such as a long term foster family, or a family assessment centre. The period of this type of fostering placement could be anything from a few days to weeks or months, whilst plans are made for the future of the child with the relevant Local Authorities or social services departments.

  7. Parent and Child Placements This type of fostering placement is for young people who have become parents at a young age and who need support and guidance in caring for their own child. Support, observation and assessment work can be carried out on behalf of the Local Authority. If required, qualified staff can prepare court reports and statements.
