Education support
Looked after children deserve the best opportunities to learn and develop. Our flexible, needs driven approach creates support packages that enable children and young people to attend a local school. We also recognise that children and young people from disrupted backgrounds often find formal educational settings difficult to cope with. In partnership and discussion with the local authority we will fund learning support assistants and tutors to support children and young people in the classroom and/or additional tuition services.
Therapeutic services
Following an assessment of need, we are able, in conjunction with the placing authority, to commission services from a range of fully accredited specialists to provide a therapeutic approach that the children may require.
FosterCare UK does not currently provide additional services such as therapy or education as part of the standard fee structure but can immediately access these services for an agreed period and will only charge "at cost".
The agency assists Local Authorities with accessing appropriate services of this nature and uses consultants in various fields for expert input, where necessary.
Please call our offices OR email jt@fostercareuk.co.uk to discuss your placement needs.
