FAQs

We are committed to listening to our Foster Carers, and acting on the feedback you give us. 

By analysing the results, we will be able to see where we are getting it right and where we need to focus our efforts to continuously improve.

The survey closes at the end of November and we will analyse the results before sharing these with Foster Carers at the Service Day on 29 January. 

A summary, including key actions that we will be taking as a result of carer feedback, will be shared via the Foster Carer newsletter and on the Fostering Resource Centre.

Any personal data (e.g. name and email address) will be separated out from the main survey data before being shared with the Fostering & Kinship Service.

The survey data will remain confidential, unless you have specifically asked us to follow up on something.
