What Do We Do?

Mosaic Foster Care is an independent fostering agency providing therapeutic placements to children who have experienced trauma and who have associated emotional, behavioural and attachment difficulties.

For these children, a permanent long-term placement coupled with therapeutic recovery is of paramount importance. All of the children who enter our specialist service, receive individual assessments and therapeutic intervention by therapists who have expertise in working with traumatised children.

Our therapeutic approach is integrated into all aspects of our fostering service including recruitment, training, support and supervision for foster parents and staff. We ensure that each child has the chance to tell their unique story so that their story can influence their time with us. It is a small but vital part of work, that helps make the bigger picture.
