What others say about Cornerstone
Why is Cornerstone so successful? Hear what others have to say about us.
I can just see such a positive change in K since he has lived with the carers. C is so patient and kind towards K and she speaks to him with so much warmth, it is lovely to see. I see lovely interactions between them too when I visit. I told her I think she is the best foster carer I have worked with (I genuinely mean that) and I am so grateful that K is with her at the moment.

Thank you also for your support for our young lady, indeed, the care provided by your carers have contributed hugely to her wellbeing and we are grateful for the opportunity of stability. Team Manager at a Local Authority we work with.

It was a rather strange LAC review meeting in many ways, and I just came away feeling very blessed to be part of Cornerstone - to know I have support from my social worker, travelling all the way to be there, is very encouraging. Also, to know how well we are trained and prepared (as much as we can be) going into meetings, placements etc. is excellent and gives me the confidence to tackle the difficult times and know we as carers are then able to give our best to the children in our homes.

We wouldn't have our beautiful I****, if it weren't for Cornerstone. It has been an honour and privilege to love this beautiful, strong girl. |

Cornerstone's Skills to Foster Training was delivered with the highest standards and the friendly, yet professional atmosphere helped me to decide that I do want to become a Foster Carer. |

I love how Cornerstone is like a big family! We are very happy with the support we receive. I enjoy the opportunity that I can meet other carers through training and value the way that Cornerstone operates, its ethos and values. |

The level of contact with Cornerstone is excellent. Mrs Birtle is always at the end of an email and would seem to always be available for the families. My experience with Cornerstone has been very positive during the short time I have worked with the family and agency. I would suggest that the family feels very supported by Cornerstone which is reassuring for Social Workers who cannot always give an immediate response to issues. Cornerstone provides the support, guidance and advice for the family and have been able to support them. |
