Editorial

Fostering Transfer Agent, is a free service that foster carers can use to help them to improve the support package they receive and consequently the care they provide to their foster children.

t is estimated that there are several thousand foster carers in the UK who are either giving up fostering or not taking placements because they are unhappy with the service being provided by their Local Authority or Independent Fostering Agency.

By transferring to another agency unhappy foster carers can benefit from a 'new start' with new social work staff , pay and conditions including improved training, respite and holidays.

Foster carers who have transferred report that the transfer has met their particular needs and expectations. Often said is 'people don't usually stay with the same employer for life!'

The transfer process causes very little disruption and any children already placed will move with the carers if it is in their best interest.
