Richard Brandford from FCA Western explains the vital role that local FCA Western offices play in our unique Team Parenting™ approach to fostering:
“Right from its inception, FCA has been about a multidisciplinary approach to working with children and young people. At its core, FCA’s Team Parenting™ is about valuing the foster carer as the agents of change and respecting the carer as the crucial person in the network, whose detailed knowledge and understanding of the young person can be the route to successful delivery of stable foster placements for young people in the care system.
“A foster carer with FCA is trained, developed, supported, valued, and respected by our professionals at a local, regional and national level, with themselves and the looked after children always placed firmly at the centre of what we do.”
