Our Ethos
Kasper prides itself on the support for carers and children and having a family friendly feel. At Kasper we get to know all our carers and children, you will feel part of a family and supported by an experienced team who have been with Kasper for many years.
How Matching Works:
We take great care to match each child with a family who can truly support their needs.
- Your profile: During assessment, we’ll create a foster carer profile that grows as you gain experience. This is for us to share with Local Authorities.
- Receiving a referral: When a child needs a foster home, we receive information (referral) about their background, needs, and behaviours.
- Thoughtful matching: Our dedicated team look at your skills, preferences, and location to see if you could potentially be a good match for the children referred.
- Talking it through: If we feel a match could be right, we’ll share all the information we have and answer any questions you may have. If it doesn’t feel like the right match, it’s absolutely okay to say no, we would never pressure you to take a child. Our priority is supporting you to make an informed and confident decision.
- Decision making: With your agreement, we put your profile forward to the local authority for their consideration.
- Matched: If the match is approved, we work with you and your supervising social worker to plan the child’s move, offering support every step of the way.
