Why foster with The Fostering Company?
We recognise the valuable role foster carers play in helping children and young people who need it most. It is a challenging profession full of highs and lows, but it’s those tender moments that make it all worth it. That’s why we help to prepare our foster carers by providing professional training and support from the very beginning. We also provide a high level of therapeutic child care that is crucial for our young peoples’ development.
As an Independent Fostering Agency, The Fostering Company are relied upon by local authorities to provide suitable foster carers and foster families for children in most need of them. Fostering with an Independent Fostering Agency can provide you with many benefits, many of which are linked to the relationship shared between a foster carer and the agency. Local authorities are responsible for fostering, adoption and child protection. We only focus on fostering, and as such we are specialists with the skills and time to devote solely to our foster carers.
If your interested in fostering with us, register your interest here or speak to a member of our team directly on 0191 283 6445.
