Rose founded Epiphany Foster Care with a bold and clear vision: to transform foster care through genuine cultural competence, exceptional practice standards, and an unshakeable commitment to every child's identity and wellbeing. With over two decades of experience across statutory children's services, senior management, and agency leadership, Rose built Epiphany from the ground up as the agency she always believed the sector needed.
Under Rose's leadership, Epiphany has become one of the most respected specialist independent fostering agencies in the East Midlands, recognised for its UASC expertise, its culturally affirming approach, and the extraordinary quality of its carer support. She remains actively involved in practice, in the lives of the families we support, and in shaping policy at a national level.
