For Foster Carers
Confident, informed, trauma-aware fostering and adoption
Fostering and adoption assessments can feel overwhelming — panels, paperwork, safer caring practice, and a process that rarely explains itself as it goes. Safeguarding Shield provides mentorship and safeguarding guidance that helps you understand not just what's expected of you, but why it matters for the children in your care.
Who this is for
Foster carers at any stage of the fostering journey, and prospective adopters going through the foster-to-adopt or adoption process.
Institutional buyer: Local Authority fostering teams and Independent Fostering Agencies (IFAs), who commission ongoing training and mentorship for their carers.
What we offer
ONE-TO-ONE MENTORSHIP THROUGH ASSESSMENT AND PANEL PREPARATION
GUIDANCE ON SAFER CARING PRACTICES, DELEGATED AUTHORITY, CONFIDENTIALITY
TRAUMA-INFORMED CARE TRAINING
SUPPORT WITH ACCURATE RECORDING AND PROFESSIONAL BOUNDARIES
Proof
"I highly recommend Salma for the exceptional support, guidance, and expertise she has provided on understanding the end to end of safeguarding for children who have experienced trauma as a result of neglect and abuse from their care givers. Her extensive knowledge of safeguarding has been invaluable. Salma has consistently demonstrated not only a deep understanding of safeguarding legislation, policies, and best practices, but also an ability to explain complex procedures in a clear, practical, and reassuring way. She has been a constant source of encouragement and professional guidance during my enquiries into the foster to adopt process... Her guidance has strengthened not only my understanding of fostering but also my confidence in my ability to meet the needs of vulnerable children. I would wholeheartedly recommend Salma to anyone seeking knowledgeable, reliable, and compassionate guidance on safeguarding."
