foster carers with Diagrama

We’re here for you every step of the way

Every child or young person is different – from experiences and ethnicity to personality and interests. It’s almost impossible to know how to support every child’s very specific needs without any extra support. We strongly believe you should never feel alone or confused about how to handle any tricky situations or discussions if they arise. You deserve complete confidence in your ability. That’s why we help our foster carers develop a comprehensive understanding about how to support children and young people with all types of backgrounds and challenges.

Why foster carers choose Diagrama Fostering

Dedicated supervisor

Once approved as a foster carer you will be assigned a dedicated supervising social worker who will be in weekly contact and will visit you at home once a month, or more, if needed.

Considered matching

Before putting any of our foster carers forward for a placement, we take time to make sure the individual needs of everyone involved are fully considered. We will look at the needs of the child in care and see if your skills, home environment and your experience will fit to provide the best care for them. It is in everyone’s interests to ensure the match is a positive and stable one.

Round-the-clock foster care support

There is always a member of our fostering team on call for you to talk to 24 hours a day, 365 days of the year. Our team of experts can help you work through any challenges you are facing and find the right solution for everyone. We believe providing excellent support is absolutely paramount to ensuring the best experience for you and the best outcomes for the children in your care. We really are there for you every step of the way.

Need a break? We can help with that.

Diagrama foster carers find their role very rewarding. However, we realise you need time out occasionally too – just like any parent. That’s why we offer 14 nights respite cover per year – where Diagrama Fostering pays other foster parents to look after your foster child or children. Our respite carers  often look after the same children for short breaks and over time are often seen as extended foster family.

Foster care network

Our foster carers are encouraged to get to know one another and you will be able to meet up at regular support groups, activities and events  held throughout the year.
