Bernadette Jones, Placements Manager at FCA South Wales, explains FCA’s approach to fostering and supporting foster carers in South Wales;
“As a local agency, FCA is able to target the needs of the children and young people who are placed with us. We pride ourselves on offering a warm and friendly service, working in close partnership with the 16 Local Authorities in the Cymru South region.
“We value our carers and ensure that they receive a high level of foster carer support; specialist foster care training; regular peer support groups and organised activities for themselves, their families and our looked after children, all of which enables our carers to be better prepared to care for the children and young persons placed with them. Foster Care Associates, whilst remaining very much a local agency, also benefits by being a part of the largest Independent Fostering Agency in the United Kingdom with all the security, knowledge and support that this entails.”
