Surrey County Council Foster Carer’s Charter Launch.

I was delighted to be invited with Suzanne to attend the SCC Foster Carer’s Charter Launch at Woodhatch.

There are over 400 foster carers in Surrey and events are held by SCC to bring them together and share stories and receive support. There were more than 60 carers present at the launch of the Foster Carer’s Charter which sets out how the Council and foster carers will work together. Details can be found here  https://www.surreycc.gov.uk/children/social-care/fostering/charter

Tina Benjamin, Director of Corporate Parenting addressed everyone present and expressed gratitude to all the foster carers (and the foster carer support team that) explaining how fostering transforms lives. Having friends ourselves who have been through the foster care system and other friends who have become foster carers, it was a privilege to be able to meet so many wonderful people who make such a difference to the lives of so many Surrey children.
