Partnerships in Children's Services

Partnerships in Children's Services PICS is a family of independent fostering agencies, with a common determination to give looked after children a better future.

We are a family of independent fostering agencies, all with our own individual areas of local expertise. We help children and young people find a family where they can develop, thrive and feel secure. We ensure each and every one of our foster families has a trusted network of support that makes them feel part of a community – a community that’s working together to turn lives around. If you are interested in becoming a Foster Carer, please contact our team today.
