Vision and mission

Development and growth in a nurturing environment.

Organic Fostering’s mission is to support every child and young person’s development by matching them with carers equipped to meet their care, identity and relationship needs.

The service is grounded in acceptance, empowerment and excellence: valuing diversity, helping people develop, and continually strengthening the quality of care.

Standards of care

Safety, dignity, equality and participation.

Children and adults should be treated with respect regardless of race, culture, religion, gender, sexuality, disability, age or family circumstance. Anti-discriminatory practice is part of staff and carer learning.

Where it is consistent with a child’s welfare, the service seeks to maintain sibling, family and community relationships, minimise disruption to education and health care, and listen to the child before and throughout a placement.
