We are proud to announce the shortlist of finalists for this year’s FCAV Commitment to Carers Award. This award recognises agency workers who go above and beyond in their support of foster carers, making a vital difference to the stability and wellbeing of children and young people in care. While we celebrate our finalists, we also acknowledge every nominee – each nomination reflects the extraordinary dedication of staff across the sector.

Congratulations to the Commitment to Supporting Carers Award finalists for 2025:
