Kibble Fostering pride ourselves on being a ‘fostering family’, made up of incredible children and young people. We’re a friendly and professional care team that includes our invaluable foster carers.
We do things differently compared to many other fostering agencies when it comes to the dedicated, skilled and knowledgeable team. We link up to every foster carer and young person, making sure you never feel alone or isolated. This support includes a 24/7 package of supports from our skilled placement supervisors and managers. They can also, if required, draw on wider supports from our colleagues working to support other Kibble Group community-based services.
Our success as a service has been recognised in our most recent Care Inspection. We were assessed to be sector leading for assessment and care planning. Read our Care Inspection report here.
We train together, make plans for our service together. We also recognise the need to support our foster carers financially and believe our foster carer fees to be amongst the highest remuneration rates in the country. Kibble Fostering provides long-term continuity and stability for the most vulnerable children within a supportive professional family.
Family Placement Supervisors
Our Family Placement Supervisors are experienced social workers, who have high levels of practice skills and knowledge. They provide direct support and supervision to foster families. This team maintain very regular levels of contact with each of the foster carers in the caseload. We are also very protective of the workloads of our Family Placement Supervisors. We ensure they have the time and availability necessary to support each of the foster carers they manage.
Child and Youth Care Workers
Our Child and Youth Care Workers provide direct practical and emotional support to our young people. Our large team of workers have a diverse range of skills, knowledge and experience which allows them to meet the individual needs of our young people and the foster carers they live with. Similarly to our Family Placement Supervisors, we ensure protected caseloads to ensure every young person is supported within agreed levels of regular time with their worker. We see this time as invaluable for our young people but also recognise the time and support this also offers to our carers.
