Fostering services in Scotland
Many people consider a career in fostering for a long time before taking positive steps towards actually becoming a foster carer. This is not unusual and it is recommended that you find out as much as you can about the subject before entering into fostering as a career option.
Our website is full of helpful information about fostering, including the different types of placements that we have as well as the kind of payments and paid respite offered when you foster with FCA. Details can also be found about the comprehensive training we provide to foster carers and the regular support groups which are held at the local office to support carers on the area.
Promoting positive outcomes
A range of support services is also provided for local foster carers in the form of our Team Parenting® approach. This is a proven method which is aimed at encouraging positive outcomes for children and young people by giving them and their foster carers all the help and advice they need and by working through any issues such as education or therapy.
A group of skilled childcare experts (from therapists and education officers to Children and Young Person’s Support Service (CYPSS) workers) make up the Team Parenting® team, they are available to offer help and advice to foster carers which in turn helps them to feel supported enough in their daily fostering role.
