Arise Fostering Agency provides a comprehensive range of fostering placements for children and young people aged 0–18 years who are unable to live with their birth families, either on a temporary or permanent basis. Our services are designed to meet the individual needs of children and young people who are looked after by local authorities.
Arise Fostering Agency has foster carers who are trained and experienced in providing unplanned or emergency placements for individual children or sibling groups. Emergency placements are provided where children require immediate accommodation due to safeguarding concerns or crisis situations. Referrals are required to be made within office hours, and placements are supported by prompt placement planning meetings. Foster carers receive immediate supervision and ongoing support following emergency admissions.
We provide short break or respite placements on either a regular planned basis or as one-off arrangements, including holiday breaks. Short break placements may be provided for children living at home with their birth families, children placed full-time with our agency, or children placed with other fostering agencies. These placements aim to support family stability, prevent placement breakdown, provide children with positive additional experiences, and offer rest and support to carers or families.
Short-term placements are provided where a child’s long-term plan is not yet finalised. These placements may last up to two years while care proceedings, rehabilitation assessments, or permanency plans are being determined. Our short-term carers are trained to provide stability during periods of uncertainty, support contact arrangements, contribute to assessments, and promote educational and emotional continuity.
Arise Fostering Agency provides bridging placements for children who are moving towards adoption, long-term/permanent fostering, or independence. Bridging placements form part of a child’s long-term care plan and may last up to two years. These carers are experienced in supporting transitions sensitively, preparing children emotionally for permanency, and working collaboratively with adoption teams and professionals.
We provide long-term foster placements for individual children and sibling groups where fostering is identified as the permanence plan. These placements are carefully matched in accordance with placing authority procedures and the child’s care plan. Long-term carers are committed to providing stable family environments, supporting identity, cultural heritage, and life-story work, promoting educational achievement and emotional development, and supporting children into adulthood where appropriate.
Short-term placements are provided where a child’s long-term plan is not yet finalised. These placements may last up to two years while care proceedings, rehabilitation assessments, or permanency plans are being determined. Our short-term carers are trained to provide stability during periods of uncertainty, support contact arrangements, contribute to assessments, and promote educational and emotional continuity.
provide placements for parents under the age of 18 who require support in developing parenting skills. Foster carers provide practical guidance and modelling, support parenting assessments, record observations relating to parenting capacity and capability, and work collaboratively with social workers and assessment teams.
Solo placements are offered where a child may pose a risk to other children, behaviour is significantly challenging, or high levels of supervision are required. These placements ensure that children receive focused, intensive support within a safe and controlled environment. Carers providing solo placements receive enhanced supervision, training and professional support.
Arise Fostering Agency prioritises keeping siblings together wherever possible. Many of our foster carers have the capacity and experience to care for large sibling groups. We recognise the importance of sibling relationships in maintaining identity, stability and emotional wellbeing.
We provide specialist placements for children who are at risk of child sexual exploitation, have experienced trafficking, display harmful sexualised behaviours, are recovering from sexual abuse, or present with significant emotional and mental health needs. Carers offering specialist placements receive additional training, therapeutic input, and enhanced supervision to ensure safe and trauma-informed care.
We have experienced foster carers who provide placements for unaccompanied children and young people arriving from overseas. These carers are trained to support cultural adjustment, immigration processes, emotional trauma recovery, and language and integration needs. We work closely with local authorities and specialist services to ensure appropriate support and advocacy.
In line with statutory guidance, we support “Staying Put” arrangements, enabling young people to remain with their foster carers beyond the age of 18. These arrangements promote stability during transition to adulthood, support development of independence skills, provide continuity of relationships, and reduce risk of homelessness or social isolation.
