All children who need fostering families will have experienced some level of trauma purely because they cannot live with their own families before we consider the additional impact of abuse. We firstly seek to understand how that trauma can be communicated through behaviour, relationships, learning and development, and this helps us support children and their carers in the right and most effective way. Local authorities tend to 'categorise' children's needs into broad groups, and different levels of allowance are paid to reflect the recognised complexity of need and likely extra input from other professionals. These are;
'Standard needs' - Children may present with some trauma related attachment patterns and behaviour. Children may present or be diagnosed with ADHD and / or Autism. Children will likely attend school full time and manage this well.
'Enhanced needs' – Children may have specific trauma related needs. They may have an EHCP to support them at school. They may require some additional input / support such as therapy or time with our Children's Champions to build their confidence and self-esteem.
'Intensive needs' – Children may have more complex trauma related needs, developmental needs and / or medical needs that require carers to have specific / additional training to best support them. They may struggle to attend school and may be on reduced hours or attend a specialist provision. The children will likely require additional support from other professionals and individual ongoing therapeutic consultation may be beneficial for the fostering family.
