Say So – Creating a Positive Workplace
Like all foster carers, we at FosterWiki believe that as part of the professional team centred around the child we have a duty of care to ensure that the wellbeing of the child is paramount.
That is why FosterWiki is proud to be partners with Say So, allowing foster carers an option to have a voice and report concerns without any reprisals.
