Mockingbird is a unique fostering wraparound service. It places an experienced carer in a position to support up to ten satellite fostering families and carers. This support comes in the form of specialist training, confidential therapy sessions, emergency respite, and mentoring on a round-the-clock availability basis. It places importance on regular contact with birth families and maintains a close community feel using social events.
