The JMT Fostering and Young Adult Placement Service Conference 2025 is a dedicated space for Scotland’s fostering and continuing care communities to come together, share insights, and explore what it takes to be sector-leading.
With many fostering services having undergone inspection over the past 12–18 months, this conference provides a timely opportunity to reflect on key findings, exchange best practice, and plan for the future of foster care in Scotland.
The event will bring together foster carers, social workers, panel members, agency managers, and care-experienced young people to discuss emerging trends, innovative approaches, and the ongoing implementation of The Promise. Delegates will gain valuable knowledge, hear real-life experiences, and take away practical ideas to enhance their practice.
Key topics include:
✔ Innovative approaches to supporting foster carers
✔ Best practice in child placement, matching, and transitions
✔ Developing and maintaining a high-quality fostering service
✔ Using technology to enhance foster care
✔ Next steps in The Promise implementation
✔ Training and professional development
