**About Us**

Set up by a former foster parent and former social worker in 1994, Foster Care Associates (FCA) is an established fostering agency, which forms part of the Polaris Community - one of the UK’s largest leading communities of children’s service providers.

Today, we’re one of the country’s largest and most experienced independent fostering agencies. But just because we’re large doesn’t mean we’re impersonal. At FCA we’re one big family, and we’re committed to supporting every single child and foster parent, every single minute of the day.

Many who enter our care have experienced a disrupted childhood and our aim is to break this cycle and provide more stability. We do this by carefully matching the right foster parents to the right children, and making sure we’re always on hand with support, guidance and help.

Our expertise helps ensure more successful placements - and that’s exactly the sort of continuity we want. This commitment is spelt out in our mission which is to ‘provide positive and stable family environments for the children and young people placed with our carers and ensure that, with the support of our carers, they can thrive emotionally and academically’.

We have an exciting opportunity for you join our team as an Independent Panel Member.

**What does a Fostering Panel Do?**
- We monitor and advise on the procedures for undertaking reviews of foster parents
- We make recommendations on other matters relating to fostering regulations
- We hold bi-annual panel business meetings.

**Independent Panel Member’s Responsibilities**:

- To prepare for Panel meetings, reading Panel papers carefully, identifying key issues and alerting as appropriate.
- To contribute to the Panel’s consideration of cases and to the making of clear and well evidenced recommendations.
- To ensure that all those attending Panel are treated with respect and courtesy.
- To address diversity issues and promote anti-discriminatory practice at all times.
- To ensure that issues of concern, in relation both to individual cases and to more general matters are raised as appropriate.
