We are proud to be delivering the Mockingbird Family Model. It is an alternative method of delivering foster care. It has the potential to improve placement stability, safety and permanency for children and young people in care, and to improve support for our foster carers.
Katy* tells her story of coming into care and the difference Mockingbird has made to her experience in this short animation.
“Mockingbird is fantastic, brilliant, we wouldn’t be still in fostering now if it wasn’t for our Hub carer and the rest of the Mockingbird team. There is always someone to talk to. They have become a part of our family. Love them all.”
