Considering switching from an independent fostering agency to a local council fostering service? Or moving to the south west and want to bring your fostering experience with you? Here you’ll find everything you need to know about how you can transfer quickly and easily with our support at Fostering South West.
Who can transfer?
- We can help if your family is moving home and you’d like to register with a local council.
- Foster carers can also transfer with us if they want to move from an Independent Fostering Agency (IFA).
- If you’ve previously fostered for a south west local council and you’d like to return, we’d love to hear from you.
We’re dedicated to ensuring your transfer is as swift, straightforward, and hassle-free as can be.
Why do foster carers transfer?
Are you feeling like the current fostering service you work with isn’t the best fit for you? Want to directly help the community around you? Then have a conversation with one of our Fostering South West team today.
We need foster carers from all walks of life who can offer a safe, stable family environment for babies, children, young people and teenagers in our region. We also need carers for children and young people from ethnic minority groups, brother and sister groups and for those with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) or additional needs. You don’t need to be a ‘full time’ foster carer to transfer to us, we need emergency and short break foster carers, too.
Can you make a real difference to a child in need in our community?
