Our Services
At Capstone Foster Care, we offer a wide range of services designed to meet the needs of both foster children and their carers. These include:
Fostering Placements: We provide long-term placements for children who are unable to live with their birth families due to abuse or neglect. Our aim is always to find permanent homes for these children where they can thrive.
Short-Term Placements: We also offer short-term placements for children who need temporary care while their birth families receive support or undergo assessment.
Respite Care: We provide respite care for both long-term and short-term placements. This gives foster carers a break from their caring responsibilities while ensuring that the child continues to receive high-quality care.
Parent & Child Placements: We offer specialist parent & child placements where young parents can learn parenting skills under supervision while living with their own child.
Specialist Fostering Services: We have specialist teams who work with specific groups of young people such as unaccompanied asylum-seeking minors (UASC), teenagers at risk of sexual exploitation (CSE), and children with disabilities.
Training & Support: We provide comprehensive training and support to all our foster carers. This includes pre-approval training, ongoing training, and access to a range of support services such as 24-hour helplines, peer support groups, and therapeutic services.
