Why Choose Fostering Dimensions?

A Supportive Fostering Family

We’re proud to offer a family-focused environment where foster carers are truly supported and valued. With dedicated training and ongoing guidance, our carers become part of a nurturing and highly skilled community where children feel safe, heard, and empowered to thrive.

Holistic Support for Every Child

At Fostering Dimensions, we provide ongoing therapeutic training to help carers meet the diverse emotional needs of children. Our team includes an in-house DDP Therapist (Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy) and dedicated social work assistants, offering personalised care and support.

We’re committed to hearing and honouring each child’s feelings and wishes—because every child deserves to feel safe, supported, and understood.

A Team You Can Count On

At Fostering Dimensions, you’re supported by a dedicated team with deep expertise in social work, education, foster care, and therapeutic practice. Our collective experience ensures every carer and every child receives thoughtful, informed, and compassionate support.

Training That Motivates

At Fostering Dimensions, we see training as key to the ongoing growth of our foster carers and the exceptional care of our children. We offer informative, practical, and accessible training—delivered individually, in groups, and online.

Your development is a continuous journey, with training that’s always evolving to meet your needs and those of the children you support.

Training Standards, Support and Development (TSD)
All new foster carers are required to complete the Training Standards and Development Portfolio. This tracks your development within the first year of being approved as a foster carer. Your supervising social worker will guide you through it and you will both work on your training, support and development together.
