“I feel a lot better about myself... Before, all I could see was a brick wall, there was no future.
Now I am looking forward to going to college.”
Multidimensional Treatment Foster Care in England
MTFCE is an exciting, evidence-based foster care programme designed to help looked-after children with high levels of need turn their lives around.
This programme, supported by the DfE since 2003, enables local authorities to offer solutions for youngsters who have experienced many placement disruptions and who have a high level of need from all children’s services in education, health and social care. The aim is to promote stability and the ability to live in a family whether the outcome is a return home to birth or extended family, to long term fostering or adoption. In this way, MTFCE broadens the range of foster care placements available within the children’s local communities.
This website is a resource developed by the MTFCE National Implementation Team. It is for anyone who is involved or interested in the programme – professionally or personally, from local authorities to MTFCE teams, from those interested in becoming foster carers to young people working through the programme.
