Our Fostering Friendly Scheme helps employers to support and recognise the roles of their employees who foster and involves no direct costs, whilst supporting their wider community in North Lincolnshire.We are looking for all types of businesses, large and small to get involved with our scheme and be a part of our fostering family.Members of the scheme can support in a variety of ways including raising awareness in the community, offering discounts for foster carers, offering space for training or events, displaying posters or leaflets, sharing information on social media or implementing a fostering friendly HR policy for all foster carers in their employment. This could include offering foster carers flexible working and paid time off for training and settling a new child into their home, providing similar flexibility for parents of their own birth children.Any way you can help, we want to hear from you and would love to tell you more about our scheme.Join us at our business breakfast launch event to find out more about the scheme and how you can get involved.
