Why Ofsted thinks we are 'GOOD'....

• Children live in fostering households that support them to make good progress.

• Foster carers support children to develop independence skills. This continues as foster carers

maintain contact with the children into adulthood.

• Children have their voices heard through contributing to the annual reviews. They also contribute

towards the development of the agency. For example, children have helped to develop the

agency’s Children’s Charter and formulate questions for the recruitment process.

• Foster carers and the agency’s social workers value the importance of children’s relationships with

their families. Children receive support to spend time with their families and those important to

them. Foster carers and the agency forge positive relationships with children’s family members.

This provides the opportunity for family members to give feedback about the care children receive

and helps children to understand that the carers and the agency care about the child’s family.

We are thrilled the Ofsted inspection team picked up on these key things we try to ensure on a daily basis for both our carers and children. Their happiness is why we do this job!
