That gives us the benefit of over 30 years of fostering experience and we''re still going strong!The founder members recognised that looked after children - especially those who''d had very difficult starts in life - needed specialist support. So right from the beginning they put the child at the centre of their thinking and surrounded them with an integrated range of support services. In fact, that''s what ISP means: Integrated Service Programme.Over time, this circle of support has increased to include a whole range of professionals that children and foster parents can tap into, whenever they need to.
