Our Approach (e.g. TCIF, therapeutic model)
Every child deserves to feel safe, heard, and supported — not just physically but emotionally too. At Synergy Fostering, we focus on building strong, trusting relationships. We’re a small, close-knit agency, which means we know our carers personally and support them closely. When carers feel confident and supported, children thrive.
Responding with Care: The TCIF Way
We use the Therapeutic Crisis Intervention for Families (TCIF) model to guide our work. This means we don’t just react to behaviour — we seek to understand what’s behind it. We train all our foster carers in TCIF so they can respond with calm, empathy, and structure, even during difficult moments. For children who’ve experienced trauma or disruption, this kind of response can make a huge difference.
Thoughtful Matching, Ongoing Support
We understand that healing takes time. That’s why we prioritise consistent support, regular reflective supervision, and an open, honest relationship with every carer. We don’t rush decisions or rely on rigid processes. We take time to match children carefully and always focus on what each individual child needs.
