Foster carers have a dedicated place to document and celebrate each child’s milestones, memories, and experiences. If a child moves to another placement, so does their life story. - Upload receipts and submit expenses from the app, as well as checking fostering allowance payments - The Knowledge Base is a dedicated area to access essential documents like the Foster Care Handbook and other key information quickly

Most personality tools tell you what you want to hear. Your Shadow tells you what you need to know. Built on two of the most rigorously validated instruments in personality science. The Short Dark Triad (SD3) and the Experiences in Close Relationships-Revised (ECR-R) are Your Shadow measures the psychological dimensions that shape how you connect, compete, and sometimes harm the people around you. DARK TRIAD ASSESSMENT The SD3 instrument quantifies your levels of Narcissism, Machiavellianism, and Psychopathy across 27 precisely calibrated questions. Results are scored against population norms and expressed as percentiles, a grounded view of where you actually fall on each dimension, not a flattering approximation. ATTACHMENT STYLE ASSESSMENT The ECR-R framework measures the two core axes of adult attachment: Anxiety and Avoidance. Across 36 questions, Your Shadow maps how early relational patterns continue to govern your behavior in close relationships and how those patterns interact with the people you choose. PROFILE OTHERS Build psychological profiles of the people in your life partners, colleagues, family members using the same validated instruments. Shadow Compatibility compares any two profiles side by side, revealing the forces driving your most important relationships and where friction is likely to emerge. SHADOW LENS - AI CONVERSATION ANALYSIS Paste a real conversation, a text exchange, an email, a message chain and Shadow Lens decodes the underlying dynamics. It surfaces manipulation patterns, attachment behaviors, and dark trait expressions embedded in ordinary language. This feature changes how you read people. TRACK CHANGE OVER TIME The Daily Shadow Check delivers brief reflection questions that build a longitudinal record of your psychological state. Combined with score history, Your Shadow gives you the data to observe how traits shift across contexts, relationships, and time. Your Shadow is not a horoscope. It is a precision instrument for self-aware adults who want to understand the psychological forces shaping their lives and who are prepared to see what is actually there.
