General information

24 Seven Fostering - Our objectives

The overarching aim of 24 Seven Fostering Services is to provide Foster homes for children who are looked after by local authorities and who are deemed to be in need of substitute care. Services are offered to children on the basic principle that their needs and welfare are paramount and that their needs are best met within a caring and nurturing environment.

24 Seven Fostering ’s aims are achieved in a number of ways. Firstly through the continuous recruitment and assessment of foster carers who are considered to be suitable and capable of offering substitute care to children in need. Secondly, 24 Seven Fostering work in partnership with local authorities, voluntary agencies and other persons in their professional capacity concerned with the welfare of children and young people to ensure that every aspect of the child’s needs are appropriately recognised and met. Thirdly, approved foster carers are supported in their tasks, duties and responsibilities towards the children/young people who are placed with them by putting adequate support mechanisms in place. Fourthly 24 Seven Fostering ’s objectives are achieved through its’ training programme, which encourages foster carers to become knowledgeable of the needs of children.
This enables foster carers to consistently develop skills and values that are directly related to the rights of children and young people from a range of diverse cultural backgrounds.

Our philosophy

We have chosen the name 24 Seven Fostering for our agency because it symbolizes the work we do which is providing services to Local Authorises and support to foster carers 24 hours, 7 days per week. We recognise and acknowledge that the children and families, with which we come into contact, have different levels of needs and our service needs to be available to them 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.

Britain is a multi-racial and multi-culture society, thus 24 Seven Fostering represents this type of diversity and richness within the staff employed by us. We also believe that the 24 Seven Fostering is a sign of promise and that by working together adults can make a promise to children and young people to respect and honour their inalienable rights as humans and individuals as stated in the Convention on the Rights of the Child and adopted by Britain. This equally applies to foster Carers, staff and professionals with whom we work to achieve best practice in foster care.
