We don’t do second best, only the best is good enough
We don’t take risks with the children in our care, and neither should you have to. We know from experience that disabled children in “main stream” placements have a high risk of disruption, particularly when carers aren’t properly trained or prepared for complex needs.
Credo Care is a pioneering specialist fostering agency exclusively offering family homes to children who have autism, medical needs, physical disabilities or learning difficulties. That’s all - and we are really good at it!
Now in our 10th year, we have a proven track record of placement successes with some of the most difficult to place children.
Our sole aim is to help Local Authorities and PCTs avoid residential, long stay hospital or hospice care. This not only saves money but also gives children the experience of family life. For example, one Authority were paying £4,200 per week for a residential placement, by moving to Credo Care we saved them £140,000 per year in fees.
Our attention to detail is unrivalled with at least 30 hours pre-placement assessment and matching work for each young person. This ensures that all needs are recognised and can be met in the placement before they move in. Credo Care is foster care you can trust.
Contact us today whether you want to foster or you have children to place. See how we can help you with short breaks, short term and long term foster placements.
