On Friday Hounslow Council staged a celebration of the new Mockingbird family model which has been active in the borough since earlier this year. Mockingbird is a global, award-winning initiative led by the Fostering Network in the UK. Using the proverb ‘It takes a village to raise a child’ as inspiration, this innovative approach creates a supportive community around local foster families, known as ‘constellations’, so an extended family network can grow organically with in-built peer support and guidance. Hounslow’s first constellation includes eight fostering households and ten children. Eithne Bhui (pictured) is Hounslow’s Hub Carer and a skilled foster carer with fifteen years’ experience. She is responsible for bringing the families together and engendering emotional support as well as providing practical assistance in the form of sleep overs or school pick-ups.
