About

Ethelbert Fostering provides foster care and support services to children and young people in Kent, South East London and Essex.

The agency is a fully integrated with Ethelbert Children's Services and benefits from the professional support and specialist services the wider organisation can provide, whilst retaining the personal touch of a smaller, independent, family enterprise.

At Ethelbert Fostering, we fully recognise the importance of developing supportive, trusting two-way relationships and place enormous value on the contribution foster carers make. To ensure we achieve this, supervising social workers are carefully selected for their people skills, empathy and developmental abilities as well as their social work credentials and experience.

Caseloads are capped at realistic levels to ensure each of our foster carers and the children they look after have first-class, personalised support as and when they need it, not just when it can be fitted in to a demanding, overstretched schedule.
