About Us

Diverse Care is a small, independent fostering agency based in Leytonstone, East London. Although we are constantly receiving enquiries from potential carers, only the people that show the qualities required will become part of Diverse Care. At the moment we have 40 foster carers and an extensive support network, delivering an extraordinary service to children and young people.

 

Due to our dedicated team of staff and carers, Diverse Care is unique in having less than 2% per year placement breakdowns, considerably lower than the national average. These are the key elements of our system:

 

What we do

  • Selective recruitment
  • Continuous training program
  • Carers high income
  • Careful matching process
  • Evolving communication systems

Why we do it

  • Quality before quantity.
  • Raising our standards.
  • Allowing full time, professional care.
  • Compatible relationships.
  • Informed decision making.

History

Established in 2002, by Eddie Royer & Jim Harris, both of whom have had many years of experience in the social care sector. Eddie worked as a social worker/consultant then manager for NCH (National Children's Home). Jim, having worked in secured units and as a specialist foster carer for the 'Options Project'.

 

We believed that East London was a central place to be and having searched for a suitable location, we arrived at what is now our offices and dedicated training centre, where we deliver the Fostering Networks 'Skills to Foster' and our continuous quality improvement program.

 

We have spent the past eight years recruiting and training staff and foster carers, who are now part of our family-orientated team.
