Change a Life. Start with Yours.
Fostering isn’t just about giving a child a home – it’s about showing them a future. At Care Visions, we believe that when children feel safe, supported and truly seen, they thrive. And so do you.
Whether you're new to fostering or returning with experience, we're here to walk every step of the journey with you.
Why Choose Care Visions?
A strong, caring community
You’ll be welcomed into a warm network of foster carers, peer support groups and reflective learning circles. Our Buddy System connects you with experienced carers for encouragement and honest insight. We’re passionate about helping you grow in confidence and capability – you'll never walk this path alone.
Round-the-clock support
From your dedicated social worker to therapeutic family workers and senior managers, our support is personal and constant. We offer regular one-to-one visits and 24/7 on-call help whenever you need it. Our independent counselling service, delivered by BACP-accredited professionals, ensures you can access impartial support inside and outside your fostering role.
Practical help that matters
You’ll receive generous fostering payments – on average around £25,500 per year per child – plus 14 days of short breaks annually and babysitting support. You’ll also benefit from legal protection through The Fostering Network and our exclusive Benefits Platform, offering discounts with major retailers.
Education advocacy for your child
Our Senior Manager for Education Services works directly with schools to ensure your child is heard, supported and understood throughout their journey.
Specialist training and personal growth
We offer a comprehensive training journey starting with our ‘Skills to Foster’ workshop, followed by a tailored induction programme. You’ll also receive training in trauma-informed care and access to specialist therapeutic models such as Theraplay, PACE and DDP – all focused on strengthening carer-child relationships. We provide a minimum of 20 hours of high-quality training each year to support your ongoing development.
Recognition and respect
We see you – and we value you. From day one, you’re involved in matching decisions and placement planning. Your experience and insight are central to making foster care work. We celebrate the contribution of all our carers and work to ensure that every placement is thoughtful, supportive and set up for success.
A commitment to quality
With regular reviews, reflective practice and independent feedback, we’re constantly improving. Because we believe our carers and children deserve nothing less.
