Yesterday saw the launch of this year's Christmas ad campaign from John Lewis, which highlights foster care and the company's commitment to support young people with care experience through their Building Happier Futures programme. The Fostering Network is pleased to welcome this campaign and the increased awareness of foster care it will bring. We are also looking forward to working closely with John Lewis as part of the Buildling Happier Futures advisory board. 

Ofsted have released their annual fostering in England statistics, highlighting that many vulnerable children are currently missing out on the care and support they need due to a lack of foster carers.  

Ensuring there are sufficient numbers of skilled and knowledgeable foster carers is one of the biggest challenges currently facing the fostering sector.
