Warwickshire County Council’s Fostering Service has published the third part of its highly praised ‘Voices in Foster Care’ resources, titled ‘Hey, we’ve got you.’
Introduced for the first time at the annual Foster Care Celebration event, in November 2025 this support guide is now available on the Warwickshire Fostering website at https://fostering.warwickshire.gov.uk/heywegotyou .
‘Hey, we’ve got you’ shows how carers are supported behind the scenes, capturing the voices of the Children and Families Service who work tirelessly to support Warwickshire’s foster families. It offers a clear statement of support, showing that while carers look after the children, an entire professional network looks after them in return by ensuring access to information, training and friendly advice.
Rebecca Clifford, Team Manager for the Fostering and Kinship Service, said
“We hope that ‘Hey we hear you’ inspires people who would consider fostering to take that first step, safe in the knowledge that they won’t have to navigate the fostering process alone if they foster with Warwickshire. Our team is ready and waiting to hear from anyone interested in becoming a foster carer, whataver stage they are at. No question is too big, small or silly”.
The ‘Voices in Foster Care’ series has become an authentic tool for both recruitment and retention in Warwickshire. By sharing the genuine thoughts and gratitude of staff, ‘Hey, we’ve got you’ highlights the power of this professional partnership and offers prospective carers a reassuring glimpse into the emotional investment of the teams who will be standing in their corner.
Warwickshire County Councillor George Finch, Leader and Portfolio Holder for Children and Families added:
"Our foster carers provide the love and stability children and young people need, and we want every carer to know that when they foster with Warwickshire, they will also benefit from outstanding local training and a support system that really makes a difference. We hope these messages of appreciation encourage more people to get in touch to find out more.”
