Why foster with us? Home Fostering in Warwickshire Why foster with us? We put relationships first and work with our foster carers to build long lasting, supportive connections. We have a well-established fostering team who provide consistency to our carers to ensure that they are listened to and able to thrive. We always aim to place Warwickshire children with Warwickshire foster carers, meaning you are our first choice to care for our children. We have excellent connections throughout Warwickshire County Council providing a joined-up approach for foster carers and the children in their care. We have a thriving fostering community with coffee mornings, a calendar of events and opportunities to connect with other local foster carers. There is a huge amount of training available online and in person to ensure all our carers are skilled and supported. Our Sapling Peer Support Scheme offers new foster carers an opportunity to be matched with an experienced foster carer to provide advice and guidance in the early days. We have a range of fostering opportunities to fit with your lifestyle. We pay above national recommended average fees and allowances. Read some of our fostering stories The Sapling Scheme Becoming a foster carer can be a very daunting experience and we know that there are lots of different things to learn. It can feel overwhelming, and we know that sometimes new carers can feel unsure about reaching out to their social workers with what might feel like a silly question. The ‘Sapling Scheme’ is designed to provide new applicants with a chance to connect with experienced foster carers who can offer informal help and support. We have a huge wealth of skills and knowledge amongst our community of foster carers and are lucky that many of them are willing to share their experiences and support others. The Sapling Scheme seeks to pair newer foster carers with experienced carers from a similar area of fostering to support them on their journey for as long as they need, to overcome challenges and provide a listening ear. We provide training and support for experienced foster carers to extend opportunities for professional development and to build on their own fostering community.
