Annual reviews and changes to approval
Your first Annual Review will be presented to the Fostering Panel as required under Fostering Regulations and you’ll be invited to attend.
The reason for inviting you is so that Panel have the opportunity to discuss with you how your first year of fostering has been, and to hear from you about your learning and experiences over the year. Your Supervising Social Worker, or their Team manager, will also attend, and will discuss the arrangements with you. You will receive a review annually, however these will not necessarily go to Panel unless any changes have been recommended.
