Connected Carer Andrew
Most carers report feeling isolated, particularly in the first two years of fostering. This is even more pronounced for connected carers, who are not signed up to fostering associations until the approval process is completed, even though they are looking after the children from the outset. Sometimes, the approval process for connected carers takes up to two years.
Getting peer support from other carers, even if it just helps us know that we're not the only ones experiencing a lack of respect or support, can be the difference between giving up and keeping going. Getting guidance and wisdom from more experienced carers also helps new carers understand how to work more effectively with Children's Social Care staff.
Today, Andrew discusses some of the conflicts he has faced and the importance of connecting carers with each other.
