COVID 19 – BUSINESS AS USUAL

HOW WE ARE KEEPING EVERYONE SAFE @ MOSAIC FOSTER CARE

It’s up to all of us to slow the spread of COVID-19.  At Mosaic Foster Care we have put into place new systems to ensure we still deliver our Outstanding service during these very difficult times.   We are following Government guidance which can be found at: www.gov.uk/coronavirus-covid-19-uk-government-response. 

HOME VISITS 

As part of our process we usually meet you at home and chat about what fostering looks like and answer any questions you may have.  We are now conducting these via telephone or  video call so we still have the personal touch – but from a distance! 

SUPPORT  

Support is still being provided for our Carers and Young People whether it is by video call, over the phone or in some circumstances in person, always being mindful of the guidance, and the frequency has been increased to better support them during these difficult times.   

Our Supervising Social Workers, Therapists and Support Staff are in constant contact with everyone they look after and the office staff are working remotely to ensure that our service is not interrupted. 

TEAM COMMUNICATION 

Everyone in the Mosaic Team is meeting up regularly via video call and we are pleased to say that as far as possible, it really is ‘Business as usual’ for us.  

MEETINGS AND REVIEWS 

Again, these are continuing over the phone and via video calls with external professionals to ensure that everyone is kept safe. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us and one of our team will be in touch: info@mosaicfostercare.com.

All our video calls are conducted via secure end-to-end encryption.
