Fostering and Adoption Agencies

If you’re a Fostering or Adoption service looking for panel training or care experienced panel members we can offer the following 2 options;

Option A - If you have a care experienced panel member already, they will benefit from the support and ongoing professional development offered by Rees. There is a nominal fee of £100 to fostering and adoption agencies wishing to support their care experienced panel members by enrolling them on Rees Panel training.

Option B - Rees Foundation will endeavour to link you up with Panel trained care experienced people in your area. Note:  We do recommend recruiting at least 2 care experienced panel members - to ensure you have representation at each panel and to facilitate a peer support mechanism as good practice. We charge a small admin fee of £50 for linking you up with up to 3 panel trained care experienced individuals.
