I have worked with Credo Care for two and a half years. During this period, I have found Credo staff to be approachable particularly if important issues during Looked After Children reviews have been raised that require a response from the agency.
Credo Care are acutely aware of the need to support their placements through appropriate respite support to their foster carers, and that this ultimately benefits the children that are placed with them. This is something that Local Authorities place great value in when placing children with complex needs, and which Credo have continued to respect and adhere to. Contact sessions have also been provided within the agencies remit, and appropriate detailed reports have been provided which are always informative and useful for files.
I would have no reservations about recommending the fostering services of Credo Care to other local authorities that are looking for a specialist placement.”
