What additional support will I receive?

Carers will have access to a qualified therapeutic specialist who will provide guidance, support, and expertise to ensure the best outcomes for the children. This specialist will work closely with carers to develop and implement effective therapeutic strategies tailored to each child's needs.  

In addition to the invaluable support and training, carers will receive enhanced reimbursements (level three minimum) to recognise their commitment and the specialised care they provide. This financial support is designed to alleviate some of the pressures associated with therapeutic foster care and to ensure carers can focus on delivering the best possible care.  
 
Furthermore, carers will have access to additional funding and specialist training as required, enabling them to address specific challenges that may arise. This could include additional resources, therapeutic equipment, and specialised interventions to support the child's development and well-being.
