Get Fostering right first time

Facts:

About 15% of foster carers give up fostering or transfer between Fostering Agencies every year because the foster carer's relationship with their Agency has become problematic.

Most often the cause can be traced back to the foster carer not comparing the services other Fostering Agencies had to offer and therefore the services that would have suited them best.

As a foster carer you will be self employed, however you must be aware that unless there are certain circumstances, you can only foster for the Agency who holds your approval.

Importantly, transferring to another Agency means that you would need to go through the same assessment process all over again.

The Fostering website will contact these Fostering Agencies for you, giving you the best start to get your fostering career 'right fist time'.
