The London Borough of Bromley's child social worker shared their appreciation for one of our dedicated foster carers, who has provided exceptional support to a child in their care. The foster carer has gone above and beyond to meet the child’s emotional and educational needs, demonstrating empathy, patience, and encouragement—particularly during professional meetings—helping to address important concerns. As a result, the child feels comfortable and confident expressing themselves in the placement.
The foster carer has also ensured that the child feels like a valued member of their extended family. By actively listening and advocating on their behalf, they have created a safe space where the child can openly express their wishes and feelings, knowing they are heard and supported. They have also facilitated regular contact with the child’s birth family, maintaining important connections, including telephone contact with parents overseas.
Additionally, the foster carer has provided a nurturing environment, consistently meeting the child’s basic needs, including nutrition, hygiene, and healthcare. They actively engage the child in age-appropriate physical activities to promote their overall well-being. Their dedication and commitment are truly making a difference, and we are incredibly grateful for their efforts
