Sherree Cole, from FCA South West, explains the huge benefits of a local support infrastructure for South West foster carers: “Local support can be delivered quickly and responsively according to acute needs. This responsiveness leads to carers feeling well supported and valued. This, in turn, increases carers efficacy, which can lead to increased placement stability. By locating resources such as training and support groups locally, support for carers to attend training or support groups can be maximised, thus leading to a professional carer group.”
