About Antser

Founded in 2016 by Richard Dooner, Antser provides technology-driven solutions, including virtual reality (VR), to the social care, health, and education sectors. Dooner's personal experience, having a mother who was a foster carer, inspired the company's mission to use technology to improve outcomes for children and families. The company aims to give professionals a deeper understanding of the child's lived experience through immersive training.

Antser's primary offering is a VR-enabled behavior change program. This tool allows social care professionals, foster carers, and educators to experience situations from a child's perspective, helping to build empathy and improve practice. The scenarios are based on real-life events to ensure authenticity and impact. Beyond VR, the company also provides services in case management, data analytics, and direct support work for children's services. Their business model involves providing these specialized services and technology solutions directly to local authorities, independent fostering agencies, and other organizations within the care sector on a contractual or subscription basis.
