"Staying Put" Fostering

We recognise that some young people need ongoing support beyond legal adulthood, and we work with placing authorities to provide this within our fostering families. This ensures a smooth transition, allowing young people to remain in a familiar, supportive setting as they move into the next stage of life. Maintaining continuity helps preserve relationships and stability, enabling young people to build independence at a comfortable pace.

Staying in a trusted environment provides reassurance and consistency during times of change. We continue to support fostering families, recognising that young people’s needs evolve. By working closely with all involved, we ensure support remains appropriate and consistent, helping young people feel secure as they move forward.
