In Spring 2011, care-experienced young people, using standards devised by their peers to reflect what is important to them, inspected Nexus Fostering. The standards relate to the involvement of young people in the planning and evaluation of services and in planning their own lives, and the effectiveness of complaints and advocacy processes. Nexus Fostering met the standards for Shared Values; Style of Leadership; Care Planning and Review, and Complaints and Advocacy. Nexus Fostering was presented with the LILAC award: Leading Improvements for Looked-After Children.
