Our Annual Reports

Our 2023 Report

We are delighted to share the outcome of their 2023 HIQA inspection. The report highlights the quality of care and child centred approach of our service and how children’s rights are promoted at every level of the service. The report praised the supports in place across Orchard Fostering, naming the children’s ambassador board, the birth children support groups, foster carer support groups and training available.

The inspectors met with foster carers, young people and external social workers who spoke about the high levels of support, communication and care provided. This is a testament to all of our amazing foster carers, young people and staff team and Orchard Fostering will continue to ensure that the best possible outcomes are provided to all of our children and young people.

Our 2020 Report

The year 2020 was both exciting and challenging for our staff and foster families. Our 2020 annual report looks at some of the highlights within the service over the past year and the growth of our foster carer base throughout 2020. Furthermore, this report will present some of the data gathered by Orchard Fostering during 2020, while it will also provide insight into some of our exciting plans for 2021. We hope you enjoy reading about Orchard Fostering’s achievements in 2020.
