"The agency provides good foster placements for children and young people with a range of needs including some with particularly complex needs. The children and young people have their needs met and their welfare safeguarded and promoted. Placements are stable and any moves are carefully considered to ensure that they are in children and young people’s best interests. This stability enables children and young people to develop a sense of belonging in their foster families and to build positive and beneficial relationships with their carers. They only offer placements for children and young people whose needs they believe they can meet effectively."
"The assessment process for carers is thorough and is carried out in a timely way, so that potential carers are not lost due to delays. Carers are well supervised to ensure that they provide a high standard of care and to help them find effective ways of working with children and young people. The responsible individual and registered manager are very involved in the running of the agency and know its strengths and areas for development. All agency staff work well with the carers, so that they feel included in the team around the child or young person. This is enhanced by good relationships with the placing social workers and schools."
