Policies and Procedures

Sparks Fostering policies and procedures outline the core expectations and functioning of the agency. The policies and procedures take into account the national guidance and standards for fostering, and also includes specific information about Sparks Fostering. Sparks foster carers and staff are required to read each policy and procedure at least once a year. By regularly reviewing the policies and procedures, staff and foster carers are able to work with a shared understanding of each other’s roles and how we can provide the best possible care for the children. 

The Children’s Guide summarises the key information that children and young people need to know about Sparks Fostering. Foster carers share the guide with children as soon as possible.
