The best thing about living with my new nannie is I get to give her big hugs.
My carers Tracey and Paul are newly approved foster carers with plenty of personal experience of raising their children into adulthood and their grandchildren.
Tracey and Paul were excited, yet apprehensive, of starting their fostering journey, having been approached to support a complex young man as part of a shared care arrangement.
They have received support from our social work team and the local authority and, with this support, they have thrived within their role as foster carers. They have shown empathy and understanding to this young person and with all working together to get the best outcomes he is thriving in his new placement.
