The Relational Social Work Podcast Season 2 Episode 12: Laurie Kilby: Weekending - reimagining fostering through the lens of relationships

It’s the final episode of Series 2! In this episode Hannah and Matt are joined by Laurie Kilby, Co-Founder and Practice Lead at the charity Now Foster. This episode explores Weekenders, an innovative approach to foster care, based on wrapping love and support around young people, building life long relationships and connection, and taking on the role of a foster aunt or uncle, rather than foster parent. This scheme enables people to step into fostering who might not otherwise have fostered, staying with children throughout their lives, & providing opportunities and experiences based around the needs of the young person.
