Mockingbird

We champion the innovative Mockingbird programme - a fostering model which encourages social support for foster carers and the children and young people in their care. Through Mockingbird, foster carers are put into groups of families who form a community of carers (called constellations) who support and care for one-another in a similar way to how an extended family would. 

With the success of Hartlepool Borough Council's first Mockingbird constellation, plans are underway to set up a second and possibly many more.
