Parallel Parents

Together with my family i have been a foster carer for many years. Many children have come and gone and some are still with us. During that time there has been lots of love, laughter and some tears. We have joyful memories of each and every child. Some tough times for sure but always outweighed by the overall satisfaction that we have done our best we have learnt new skills in the process and grown with each child. Parallel parents provide us and the children we care for with support and together we make a difference in their young lives. Come and join us and share your home, experiences and heart with children who need you! Jacqui

Very supportive agency to foster with. They have support workers along side supervising social workers and there is always someone available evenings and weekends.

I have been a foster care for parallel parents for 15 years, I have had some challenges in my time but I have had the help from parallel parents support team with my supervisor social worker and support worker nothing is never to much the support is second to none,when you want to speak to someone over the weekend you speak to an actual person who knows you and not a machine, the company and support is brilliant and the children we have had are treated with love and respect and they have been able to build trusting and meaningful relationships with the support team.

I have been a foster carer with Parallel Parents for 10 years now, I cannot recommend them highly enough! From the start I was made to feel very welcome and at ease with the process. They are not pushy in any way and are very informative. The training they provide is so beneficial, listening to all the other carers with their own experiences really helps. Parallel Parents run support groups, coffee mornings, well organised activities for all the children, provide all children with a gift at Christmas as well as their foster carers. In addition to the extra we receive for respite and also extra seasonal allowances. We can progress onto other things like support workers and social workers with lots of encouragement from the management team. The support we receive is second to none, they really are there for us 24/7. Both children and foster carers know all of the Social workers so we aren't visited by numerous unknown people. We are all part of a team and very valued as individuals. Being a family run agency really makes a big difference. Everyone is treated with the respect and gratitude they deserve. I could not ask for anything more! No wonder they have been granted outstanding with Ofsted for so long, well deserved too, thank you to everyone at Parallel Parents for helping me become the foster carer I am today!
