Our Fostering & Adoption Services

John Platt Managing Director – ACS, FCA & FP

“I feel really privileged to be managing director of Active Care Solutions, Foster Care Associates and Fostering People. These agencies have their own unique approach but each one has a focus on quality and support for our foster parents who in turn provide loving stable homes for children. I’m delighted to say that all externally inspected agencies are judged by their regulator to be good or outstanding (or equivalent in Scotland and Wales). In Northern Ireland there is no formal external regulator but we ensure quality with inspection by our own Polaris Quality Assurance Team. In contrast to the Fostering Network report that record numbers of foster carers are considering leaving the profession our agencies have really good stability levels for both staff and foster parents which in turn provides the environment for our children to be able to develop and thrive.

But it’s not all about inspections, we have fun too – from summer events to our very own “The Big Sing Off”- the first one since the pandemic. Choirs from all over the country converged on Peterborough – each one made up of young and old singing together with this year’s theme of peace and love. It was one of my highlights of the year. You’ll see it featured here. Enjoy!”
