Statement of Purpose

Our Statement of Purpose sets out the aims, objectives and beliefs that underpin our work and commit everyone involved in Nexus Fostering to the best interests and welfare of children as our priority.

Our Statement of Purpose

Our Statement of Purpose sets out the aims, objectives and values that underpin our work and commit everyone involved in Nexus Fostering to placing the best interests and welfare of children at the centre of everything we do. It explains how this commitment is put into practice and how good outcomes are achieved through our services. It also describes how our service is managed, and the systems we have in place to recruit, train, supervise and support our foster carers.

The Statement of Purpose is regularly reviewed and updated annually.

Although this is a formal document, it reflects what we believed at the very beginning: that services for our foster carers must remain central to all those who work for and with Nexus Fostering. Through well-supported carers, children and young people receive excellent care. Our original team of three has grown, but we remain at the head of the agency, and some of the original children are still part of their first fostering families. They remind us of where we started and what can be achieved.
