Have you seen the great new fostering film – ‘Any Of Us’?
The film has already attracted many views – as well as a number of inquiries from potential new foster carers here in Coventry and across the region.
The film is available to view on the Council website.
It shows how any of us can foster a child or young person.
Any Of Us is the sixth film produced by a growing partnership of councils and children’s trusts to promote local authority fostering. The ‘Any Of Us’ project is the largest public sector fostering film collaboration yet, with over 80 participants from Northumberland to Brighton and Liverpool to Kent.
It looks at three very different people who all show some of the attributes needed to be a foster carer in incidents from their daily lives – Ayesha going to the aid of a pedestrian after a minor road accident, Neil calming down an aggressive situation in a snooker club, and Marsha identifying a young person showing signs of distress and intervening with them at school.
Different individuals in very different scenarios, but each in their own way showing the caring instinct that is fundamental to being a foster carer.
The film develops so that it becomes clear that one of these three everyday people will become the foster carer to Chloe. But which one of the three will be the one to make the difference? The main characters’ stories are all interwoven with Chloe’s, as we see her journey into fostering.
The film has been produced by Reel TwentyFive and project managed by CAN Digital/Rachel Brown.
Take a look today and see whether you too could be a foster carer.
