Foster and Adoption Support
Providing Support to Foster Carers & Adoptive Parents
Despite extensive training and careful matching, parents of adopted children and foster carers often face difficult behaviours and situations with the children in their care. Often these are related to the children’s early life experiences, but need to be carefully and sensitively dealt with by the present carers.

- Specialist support regarding children with learning disabilities, autism, Asperger’s Syndrome, conduct disorders and mental health problems
- High quality assessments and reports, including:
- Psychological assessments
- Risk assessments
- Support needs assessments
- Capacity assessments
- Ongoing psychotherapy and counselling services
