The film also highlights a key issue facing Knowsley’s Fostering Service; the need for more foster carers who would consider caring for older children. The film uses actors to tell the real life experiences of a formerly looked after child and Knowsley’s Fostering Service have worked closely with young people to deliver this unique film to raise awareness about fostering and in particular the need to find foster carers for older children.

‘Elliot’s Story’ conveys that with love and guidance the lives of some of Knowsley’s most vulnerable children can be changed for the better. The film also highlights the positive impact of foster care and how equally rewarding it can be for the foster carer/s.
