North East foster carer support groups and networking

Individual partners run their own support groups in their area to connect you to other fostering families in your local area once approved. As a Foster with North East foster carer, you will also have the opportunity to:

• Learn from experienced foster carers through the foster carer mentor buddy scheme.
• Join the Mockingbird programme of networked family support for foster carers, if suitable for your circumstances.

You can find out more about additional elements of support offered by our local authority partners in our partner profile section.
