KEEP - Keeping foster and kinship carers supported

Reported benefits:

 

  • KEEP is a user friendly and flexible programme 

  • KEEP provides concrete solutions for individualised needs

  • KEEP facilitation empowers changes in carer’s confidence

  • KEEP reduces carer isolation as friendships are created and sustained by sharing of similar experiences and learning from each other

 

 

  • KEEP skills carers to manage more of the externalised behaviours in their own homes which reduces  demands on Supervising Social Workers and other services 

  • KEEP is a recruitment tool and by  offering KEEP as an on-going support service, KEEP supports the retention of the foster carer workforce
