Evergreen Foster Care is Different
Evergreen Foster Care is a highly specialised service that focuses on placing children from residential schools or children’s home into intensively supported, foster care placements. The aim of Evergreen Foster Care is to provide placements for children who would not be able to access standard foster care, but could, if adequately supported, make the transition to a family environment.
As children coming out of residential care usually have a range of difficulties, only one foster child can be placed with a family at any one time. This ensures that progress is not complicated by the competing needs of equally complex/challenging children, and that the placement maintains stability.
We understand how difficult it is to foster children who have social, emotional and/or mental health difficulties, and who may also have aspects of autistic spectrum condition, so our full-time carers receive a generous package which includes:
- £38, 584 per year allowance or £3,215 per month
- A specialist school place for the child in your care (subject to agreement from the child’s Local Education Authority)
- Regular respite
- Telephone advice line 24 hours a day, 365 days per year, operated by people who know the child in your care
- 20 x group therapeutic reflections sessions per year with therapist
- 20 x One- hour therapy sessions in the foster home for either the whole family, the child or the carers individually
- A comprehensive training and support package proven to be successful in our children’s home and schools (see Training, Supervision and Support section)
- Access to over 50 years of professional experience
