Child and Family Haven

Support for Families

Families come to us in many different circumstances. Whatever brings you here, our approach is to listen first and guide with honesty and care.

Our Approach

Understanding Your Family's Circumstances

No two families are alike, and no two situations that bring a family into contact with fostering services are the same. We take the time to understand your circumstances before offering guidance.

Whether you are a birth family exploring what fostering could mean for your child, a family member considering kinship care, or a household simply looking for more information, our aim is to help you understand your options clearly and without judgement.

What We Focus On

How We Support Families

Listening First

Understanding your situation before offering any guidance or next steps.

Clear Communication

Honest, straightforward conversations, without jargon or false promises.

Guidance on Options

Helping you understand the range of support and services that may be available.

Respect

Recognising every family's background, values and circumstances.

Working Together

Collaborating with families rather than making decisions for them.

Focus on the Child

Keeping a child's best interests at the heart of every conversation.

Getting in Touch

Finding the Right Support for Your Family

If your family is going through a difficult period, or you simply want to understand more about the support available, please get in touch. Every conversation begins with listening, and there is no obligation to take things further until you feel ready.
