Who are Care Visions?
Care Visions has built a fostering community where you can thrive and help others do the same. With over 20 years of experience, we’ve been supporting children and young people through high-quality, compassionate fostering that puts relationships first.
We believe every young person deserves a safe, stable place to grow, and every Foster Carer deserves to feel supported, encouraged and valued. That’s why we’ve created a fostering community built on trust, warmth and connection. We’re proud to offer trauma-informed care, local decision-making, and responsive support that reflects the needs of our carers and the children they care for.
We are committed to:
- Keeping siblings together wherever possible
- Supporting children in maintaining important family relationships
- Upholding the principles of Getting it Right for Every Child (GIRFEC), Getting it Right for Everybody (GIRFE) and The Promise
- Therapeutic and educational support provided by Care Visions staff within the team to ensure every child receives what they need to flourish
We’re wholly Scottish-owned, which means the decisions that matter are made close to home, not by a distant head office. And we take great care to match children and families thoughtfully, with the long term in mind.

Practical support

You will also have access to high-quality learning opportunities tailored to your journey, with a minimum of 20 hours training each year.
Celebrating carers
We see you – and we value you. Your experience, dedication and insight are deeply appreciated. Carers are fully involved in our matching process, and we work closely with you to ensure placements are thoughtful, supportive and set up for success.
Committed to quality
We hold ourselves to high standards. With regular reviews, independent second opinions and reflective team meetings, we continually improve to offer the best possible support for our carers and children.
At Care Visions, you’ll be part of something special – a supportive, caring team working together to make a lasting difference. Whether you’re an experienced foster carer or just starting out, we’re here to help you thrive.
“A couple of times I’ve thought “have I got the energy for this all over again?” but the flip side is there’s so many rewarding moments. The wee one was recently in a dancing show and came away with a medal as if she’d won the Olympics and the eldest boy is helping me restore and rebuild an old motorbike. He loves his own tool kit so gets a huge amount from that. Fostering has been my job and vocation. You accept the challenges as part of the job, but it doesn’t really feel like a job. It just feels like life.
