Foster Care Values

We’re delighted that the Health and Social Care (Wales) Bill has now been approved by the Senedd, marking a major milestone in removing profit from children's care.

From April 2030, only not-for-profit organisations will be allowed to provide care services, ensuring that every decision made is about what’s best for children, and not financial gain.

We’re proud to have already made this transition, becoming a not-for-profit provider well ahead of the government’s deadline. This ensures that every penny we receive is reinvested into delivering the highest standard of care for vulnerable children and providing the best possible support for our incredible foster carers.

This is a positive step for fostering in Wales, and we’re excited to continue leading the way in a sector that puts children first, always. 💙

Bill to remove profit from children’s care in Wales approved by Senedd Should non-social work qualified staff carry out child in need assessments? Yes, many are highly skilled and it would free social workers up. In principle, but they would need appropriate training and supervision. No, it would carry too much risk for children.

We’re thrilled to announce that Foster Care Values has joined forces with TACT Fostering, the UK’s largest dedicated fostering charity, to secure our not-for-profit future! 🎉

This transition allows us to stay true to our values, ensuring every penny goes back into supporting children and carers 💫

As you’d expect with any new partnership, there will be a few changes over the next few months, but rest assured, Foster Care Values will remain the same at heart.

In fact, we’ll be continuing:
💙 Under the same brand and with the same values
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 With the same team of brilliant people
🙍🏼‍♂️ With founder Mick Sams leading the day-to-day operations

Together, we can ensure the best care for our foster carers and children 🥰

What is really fostering like? 👨‍👩‍👦‍👦

Fostering is a commitment, and there’s nothing else quite like it.

There will be times to cherish and times when you can really see the difference you make. During challenging times, rest assured, you will have our 24/7 support to help you navigate through.

It could be for one night, two weeks, or maybe longer. But fostering will surprise you. It will challenge you and reward you!
