Fostering Service Offered by bespoke fostering - coming soon

Short-term foster placements can range from a few weeks to up to two years. After such a placement, children and young people might return to their birth family, transition to a long-term foster placement, or stay with their current foster carers on a long-term basis

.

These placements are temporary solutions for children and young people until their future plans are finalized. They can be either emergency placements, with little notice, or planned placements.

Long-term foster placements can continue until a young person turns 18. While there are options for them to stay with their foster carers beyond this age, these options vary by Local Authority.

In long-term fostering, your abilities will be carefully assessed and matched with the needs of children awaiting long-term foster families. This process is known as matching. The goal of long-term foster placements is to provide high-quality care for young people when adoption is not an option and to help prepare them for adulthood

Bespoke Fostering provides a respite care service for both long-term and short-term foster carers, offering them support when they need a break. Some children and young people also require respite placements, which can occur once a month or more frequently. This type of fostering can help young people stay with their birth families. Additionally, respite placements may be necessary for disabled children and those who need regular weekend and holiday care

Often required for family groups of brothers and sisters who need to stay together.

In parent and child placements, foster carers provide a nurturing home for one or both parents and their child. In these placements, our foster carers offer support and guidance to help families develop their parenting skills. Families may also undergo a parenting assessment while in a parent and child foster placement.
