I Want To Foster - Foster Carers

Solo Placements


FCA foster carers routinely look after children and young people who may make considerable demands upon them and also upon the services of the agency. However, occasionally a child or young person has very specific and complex needs which, initially at least, require a higher level of support and supervision. Because of his/her needs, a child or young person may require constant individual attention and supervision that precludes the placement of any other fostered children/young people or prohibits the use of any remaining placement vacancies within the foster home. With such placements there is usually higher-level input from the FCA Social Work, Therapy, Education Liaison and Children & Young People Support services.
