We welcome candidates who are passionate about the success of fostering services and the outcomes for our children and young people. 

Successful candidates will be responsible for the following Fostering Panel Member duties: - 

  • Reading the meeting documents carefully before the meeting and to attend the meeting prepared to raise issues and to contribute to the panel discussion.
  • Participating in the making of a recommendations, on each case, drawing on both personal and professional knowledge and experience.

  • To participate in panel induction and in panel training, which will be at least one day per year.
  • To participate constructively in the annual review of their panel membership, if this is an agency requirement.
