Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Gymunedau a Phlant (Carl Sargeant): Work is well advanced to implement the National Fostering Framework for Wales over the next three years, building on the scoping and development work already undertaken. Implementation is being supported in 2017-18 by a grant of £400k from the Welsh Government, and agreement has been reached with the Welsh Local Government Association that this level of funding will be retained when the additional funding goes into the Revenue Support Grant in 2018-19. This shows a real commitment by the Welsh Government and its local government partners to implementation of the new framework.
A key objective of the National Fostering Framework is to increase the number of foster carers recruited by local authorities in Wales, and to ensure that they are properly trained and supported. The framework will enable greater regional collaboration, supported by a new performance management framework and a national approach to marketing. Individual local authorities, as corporate parents for the children they look after, will continue to be responsible for ensuring that suitable matches are made and that placements are stable and contribute towards permanency for the child.
Implementation of the National Fostering Framework is also being supported by the voluntary sector. The Welsh Government provides grant funding to The Fostering Network and the Association for Fostering and Adoption Cymru for three projects which aim to support and enable foster carers and those who work with them. The Fostering Excellence project is developing a national training programme for foster carers and AFA Cymru’s work is supporting professionals who work with foster carers.
The Fostering Wellbeing project is piloting social pedagogy within foster care settings in the Cwm Taf region. This project is delivering master classes which bring together health, social care and education professionals and foster carers for shared learning and development. The focus is around the wellbeing and learning of children, combining education and care, not just focusing on schooling but on social lifelong educational processes.
