FCA Social Work Service

Foster carers can draw on a wide-range of expertise from FCA’s Social Work Service – providing advice, guidance and support for every aspect of fostering.

All children and young people placed with an FCA foster carer benefit from their own Social Worker from the relevant Local Authority or Health Trust. These Social Workers will keep in touch with them throughout their placement, make statutory visits, and make care planning decisions with and for them.

However, in addition to the child’s Local Authority or Health Trust Social Worker, every FCA foster carer has his/her own FCA Supervising Social Worker to ensure that they are fully supported.
