This means that finding a house that truly feels like home and meets all your fostering needs could now cost you less than expected. Originally launched in 2022 to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the National Health Service, the KWDC scheme has been extended to help Foster Carers afford a home of their own. While owning a home isn’t a requirement for fostering, this scheme could save you thousands if you choose to buy. As part of the Key Worker Deposit Contribution Scheme, Barratt Homes will contribute £1,000 for every £20,000 from the total value of a new build property purchased from them that meets their requirements.

We are delighted to share that Fair Ways has been awarded the Best Employee Development Programme (In-house) Award at the 2024 UK Company Culture Awards. This was the second consecutive year Fair Ways was shortlisted for the Best Employee Development Programme of the Year for our RiiSE programme, finishing as highly commended in 2023, and the ultimate winner in 2024. Fair Ways has always sought to deal with the most distressed and vulnerable children, to provide stable placements and provide world-class care and support. We are delighted that our RiiSE training programme has become recognised as the benchmark for the development of knowledge and skills for people to understand the effects of exposure to various forms of childhood adversity, abuse, neglect, violence and other problematic behaviours as methods for coping with that adversity.
Our people are the standard bearers for care, compassion, strong values and therapeutic principles, and RiiSE is the golden thread that is woven through the organisation that continues to deepen and unfold over time Fair Ways is reporting the annual Gender Pay Gap (GPG) figures. In Fair Ways there is a Gender Pay Gap due to more men being in more senior positions, however, in 2023/24 the GPG decreased on the previous year. Typically, a Gender Pay Gap arises as there are more men in senior positions, however as part of Fair Ways longer-term strategy, more females are being promoted to senior positions in Fair Ways. Currently, our Operations Board has 2 women and 6 men, however, the next most senior level; the Senior Leaders team, is now 70% women. Also, the Trustee board is now a 50 / 50 gender split, however as Trustees are not paid, they are not reflected in the GPG figures. Seeing women in higher positions is something Fair Ways does aspire to and shows that the company does promote females. Fair Ways has an equal pay policy where men and women are paid equally for the same role. Read the full report here www.fairways.co/ |
