Foster with North East (support hub for foster carers)
Contents
Overview
South Tyneside Council is part of a new collaborative partnership with the 11 other Councils in the North East of England called Foster with North East.
The aim of Foster with North East is to help recruit foster carers and provide support for them.
Foster with North East is a united, single support hub backed by the Department for Education.
Support available
We are working with other Council's fostering teams across the North East region to bring together our in-depth knowledge about our communities in South Tyneside, to further support the needs of families, children and young people.
The fostering team at South Tyneside Council will support you through your application along with the community of Foster with North East hub carers, who offer additional support and guidance throughout your fostering journey.
Everyone is on-hand to support you from the initial application process and beyond.
We're also working together to strengthen the North East fostering community through the Fostering Network's Mockingbird programme. For more information see Mockingbird Family Model (a new way of providing foster care)
