Your supervising social worker

Every foster carer is allocated a Supervising Social Worker (SSW) who provides ongoing practical and emotional support. Your SSW will:

• visit you regularly at home
• offer guidance tailored to your needs
• support you with training opportunities
• link you to additional services such as education and therapeutic support
• act as a professional, knowledgeable and reassuring point of contact

You're never left to manage things alone, your SSW is with you throughout your fostering journey.
