Statement of Purpose
Our Statement of Purpose tells you about the legal status of Family Fostercare and about the work we do, how we do it and how we are going to do it better in the future.
It gives information about foster carers and the people who work for the company and their qualifications. In line with regulations, each of our registered offices has its own Statement of Purpose, which is updated annually and approved by our board of directors.
The document has been written for anyone with a specific or general interest in fostering. Every prospective and approved foster carer, staff member, and parents of a child placed receives a copy and placing authorities are also offered a copy.
Please contact us if you require any of the documents in our library printed in different formats, or for the visually impaired, or for those people whose first language is not English.

Children's Guide to Fostering
Children receive their own version of our Statement of Purpose when they are placed with our foster carers, and their booklet is called the 'Children's Guide to Fostering'. Family Fostercare has produced two versions of the Children's Guide, one for younger children and one for the more grown up child.
