Testimonials

From the time that you contact Family First Fostering with a view to becoming a Foster Carer to the time when your Foster Children go on to be adopted or returned to their birth family you feel just that, you are part of a family.
The training and ongoing support is everything that you hope it would be. It gives you the tools to make you a good foster carer and the confidence to do the job and support those vulnerable children to the best of your ability.
The support given by your supervising social worker and the professionalism of the staff based in the office means that you never feel that you are alone in solving the problems that sometimes quite challenging children can bring.
It is obvious from the number of referrals that you will receive that the fostering agency is held in high regard by the local authorities that are trying to place children and young persons. The referrals offered to you will be based on the skills that you already possess and the skills that you can develop through the courses offered through the ongoing training on line and in person.
We have never regretted becoming foster carers and that is due to the flexibility and support that we have received. We never feel that we are alone but that we are part of a very professional team who always have the best interest of not only the children and young persons that we care for at heart but also of ourselves. They always ensure that we have all the information available about the children offered to us and that we fully understand any issue that may ensue and the effect that those issues may have on ourselves and extended family.
If you are thinking about becoming a foster carer I would highly recommend signing up with Family First. You will not regret it.

We were approved to be Foster Parents in April 2014 and so far with the great support of Family First Fostering, we together as a team changed 11 children's lives. Family First have great support training programmes that helped us to learn and develop and whenever we need help there are here for us.
