Our experience tells us that one of the important factors that attract foster carers and encourage them to continue fostering is the level of support they receive. Support is therefore important in terms of the outcomes we have achieved. At Rainbow Fostering we offer a high level of support from placing a child/young person until they are no longer in placement. We offer support in a number of ways:-

• Support from supervising social worker
• Easy access to the services manager , assistant director and director
• Therapeutic services for children when this is agreed with the local authority social worker who is allocated to the child
• Loan of equipment
• A centralised savings scheme for children and young people
• Identifying a carer who will help to offer support
• Organised activities such as BBQs, Christmas parties and social gatherings
