Little Acorns Fostering, one of the fastest-growing foster care agencies in the UK, is celebrating its

recent success in recruiting new foster carers in its home region of Suffolk. The agency is a family run

business that has many years of combined experience in Social Work, Residential Care, Judicial and

Fostering services, and is dedicated to offering best in class services to children who enter the care

system and their fostering families.

Little Acorns Fostering’s recent recruitment drive has resulted in a large number of potential foster

carers in Suffolk and surrounding counties, and the agency believes that this will go a long way in

bridging the 9,000 foster placement gap in the UK today. Little Acorns Fostering is thorough in its

assessment of all potential foster carers, meaning that only the best quality of care is afforded to

children in the care system.

“We are absolutely thrilled that so many people are showing an interest in becoming foster carers

and impacting children’s lives for the better,” stated Cheryl Jillions, “We aim to continue our recent

success by making information and support for potential foster carers more and more accessible all

over the country.”

Little Acorns Fostering currently offers a number of different services, including services for carers,

services for local authorities, different placement types and supervised contact services. Those that

are interested in becoming foster carers are invited to contact the agency for more information

about what being a foster carer entails. If the person is then willing to proceed, an Assessing Social

Worker will visit the home to talk more in depth about topics ranging from reasons for wanting to

foster to personal background and expectations of the experience.

After successfully completing the entire application process to become a foster carer, Little Acorns

Fostering will then supply fully training and support to all foster carers to make sure each placement

is successful. Some major components of the support package include: access to support services

24/7 and all year round, supervision and support from a dedicated and qualified Little Acorns

Fostering Supervising Social Worker, respite facilities, regular focus group meetings and many more.

Little Acorns Fostering endeavours to provide a support and training package that is effective in

ensuring that foster carers are fully supported and that placements are successful. Each foster carer

that joins the Little Acorns Fostering team is also paired with a more qualified fostering family to

assist with the transition into the role.
