What you can expect as a foster carer for Worcestershire Children First Fostering?

As a foster carer for Worcestershire Children First Fostering (WCFF) you can expect:

  • you will be the first of foster carers we contact ahead of any outside agencies
  • regular placements
  • fees and allowances paid
  • retainer payments when vacant
  • 24/7 emergency support
  • respite as required
  • excellent training and personal development opportunities
  • regular one-to-one’s with a dedicated fostering social worker
  • specialist education and health support
  • concessionary leisure passes
  • carer ambassadors to encourage participation from foster carers in service improvement
  • monthly support groups for carers
  • monthly family activities across the county for fostering families
  • Fostertalk membership which provides financial, legal, and independent advice and support and exclusive discounts
  • tax relief on fostering fees paid to carers, so you keep more of your fee

In addition to the support you will receive from your fostering social worker, a child in placement will also have their own social worker to assist you in caring for that child. Outside of normal office hours you will still be able to access the support from a duty social worker.
