Safeguarding in our Foster Care Service
Diagrama Fostering has a safeguarding theme which runs through everything we do. Our foster carers are fully trained in this area to understand the importance of following safeguarding procedures so that working in this way becomes second nature. All our foster children have up-to-date risk assessments which are shared with foster carers, local authority social workers - and the children where possible. Diagrama Fostering runs safeguarding training annually to ensure that we remain up to date about safe practices and new developments in the field.
“Children say that they feel safe and well cared for by their foster carers. There is a
strong focus on matching children well with foster carers".
