Devon Fostering Service works in partnership with children and young people, their families and carers to provide safe caring homes that value the difference in children and young people and help them to achieve their full potential.

We aim to achieve this by providing:

• Safe, warm and caring family environments
• Comprehensive support for children and young people and carers
• Encouragement for children and young people to meet their full potential and to mark and celebrate their success
• Personal and group support for carers and their families
• A flexible service that respects individual needs and values diversity
• Effective promotion, recruitment and training for carers
• Measurable outcomes that achieve, or exceed, National Minimum Standards
• A professional service that is accountable, financially viable, and maximises partnership opportunities

We are working to become a service which fully meets and exceeds the National Minimum Standards.
