Foster Carer survey - Connections and Support Team 2026

Overview

Placement Support has been renamed the Connections & Support team and now sits under Commissioning, as part of the wider Children We Care for Service. Recruitment for a new manager is underway, with their responsibilities covering the CAS team, as well as Commissioning and Home Finding.  

The CAS team are currently reviewing service delivery. As part of this we are exploring ways that we can extend and flex our offer, with the aim of supporting more children. The service currently offers support to 25% of fostering families, and to help us shape and grow our offer we are keen to hear from you – the carers. Please fill this out to help us better understand what support you and the children you care for would benefit from.

Please complete this survey by 13^th of February 2026.

Thank you for your time.
