Changing your current fostering agency
Foster carers decide to change fostering agencies for a variety of reasons. Foster carers who have transferred their approval with our help have told us:
- That they had not been properly supported
- Their fostering fees and allowances were not competitive
- That not enough training or respite had not been offered to them.
Some foster carers told us that they experienced long periods of time without a child placed. As a foster carer, you are free to choose the fostering agency you foster for. We provide a free fostering agency transfer service for foster carers. Our qualified social workers are experienced in working with carers who would like to transfer from their current agency.
