The Mockingbird model is just fantastic in that it provides a wall of support, it's just phenomenal. The support from the fostering team has always been outstanding but Mockingbird means that there are always people around who understand the issues you are facing and can offer advice. For anyone thinking about fostering, I would say now is the time to find out more because the level of support is just so fantastic.
