Last month, we hosted the first Portsmouth Fostering Friendly Business Summit at Portsmouth Guildhall, bringing together local organisations as Portsmouth continues to lead the way as the UKβs first Fostering Friendly City. π
What started as a vision to better support foster carers in the workplace has grown into a city-wide movement. Thanks to the commitment of local organisations and community partners, Portsmouth is creating a culture where foster carers are recognised, valued and supported.
By signing up to the Fair Ways Fostering Friendly Employer Charter, employers are helping to make a real difference to the lives of foster carers and the children they care for, ensuring flexibility, understanding and support are available when they are needed most.
A huge thank you to every organisation that has joined us on this journey so far. Together, we are proving what can be achieved when a city comes together to support children and foster families.
