Respite
Our aim is to provide foster care placements that replicate the structure of residential provision, with high levels of day to day therapeutic and behaviour management support. We recognise that being a foster carer to children with a wide range of difficulties can be isolating and at times extremely challenging. To this end, we aim to provide a wider ‘family’ to ensure that primary foster carers have regular planned respite utilising dedicated respite carers. The respite carers then become key figures in the children’s lives.
Our Respite carers also receive a generous package which includes:
- £129.80 per day or £259.60 for the weekend
- x 3 supervisions per year by a supervising social worker, or as required
- Telephone advice line 24 hours a day, 365 days per year, operated by people who know the child in your care
- 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
