Welcome Home
At Compass Fostering, our job is simple. It’s to provide the best possible support for every carer we work with, from first-time foster families to experienced carers in search of new challenges.
It all starts from the moment you first make contact, with all the questions you’ll want answers to before you can start your foster care journey. And if we can’t answer those questions ourselves, we’ll put you in touch with someone who can – another carer, just like you. For we know that it’s only by supporting you all the way, with everything from more efficient on-boarding, to more generous allowances and more comprehensive ongoing training, that you can reach your full potential as a foster carer. And helping you grow and develop as a foster carer is the best way we know to help the children you care for develop and grow more happily too.
