DEAF AWARENESS WEEK RUNS FROM THE 6th – 13th May 2024.
In celebration of the deaf and hearing impaired community, we’re Counting You In to a fostering career with The Children’s Family Trust.
As a fostering charity, we’re uniquely placed to support Deaf and Hearing impaired carers to a successful career, supporting vulnerable young people in the community. As our goal isn’t profit making, we focus on support, guidance and a tailored approach for all our carers.
Diverse carers are needed more than ever
The UK is in the midst of a fostering crisis, needing to recruit more than 7,500 carers in the next 12 months alone. We believe, with the correct support network, the deaf and hearing impaired communities can step in and provide exceptional care for the 70,000 young people and children currently in care.
This Deaf Awareness Week, we want those who may have faced adversity gaining support and access to a fostering career, to work with us and Count Yourself IN to a fostering career with The Children’s Family Trust.

Our approach
Our approach to fostering relies on solid relationships shaped through honest and thorough assessments. Putting our carers in the driving seat. Having clear choices that lend themselves to the positive skillsets of our carers ensures placement breakdowns are rare. And our positive working environments and flexible working means our workforce stick around, so staff turnovers are also minimised.
What’s stopping you?
With the support of the right Fostering provider, we believe there’s little in the way of the deaf and hearing impaired communities to foster. So what’s stopping you?
