About FAACTS
Your expert Foster Care and Social Work guide
Founded with a deep commitment to improving the foster care system and the lives of the children and families it serves.
Empowering Fostering Excellence
At FAACTS for Fostering, we believe that building a strong and supportive community is key to our success. That's why we've created a platform that puts people first, and fosters a sense of belonging and connection among our users.
Maximising Potential in Care
- Our purpose is to address foster carers' unique challenges and provide them with the essential resources and advocacy required to navigate fostering challenges effectively.
- We’re working to enhance the quality of care provided to both fostered and birth children, support foster carers in their vital roles, and ultimately create a brighter future within the foster care system.
- We believe, wholeheartedly, in the potential of every child, and the critical role foster carers play in unlocking that potential.
Led by Experience and Skills
From Foster Carer, to Social Worker, now an Advocate for Foster Carers
I began fostering in April 2005 and have since fostered 34 children, gaining valuable experience on the journey. I value the successes of my foster children and continue to provide them with ongoing support wherever I can. The highs and lows of fostering challenges have placed me in the ideal position to give back.
