Thinking of transferring?

If you live in the area and you’re already an approved foster carer, then you may be looking to transfer foster agencies.

We’re always on the lookout for approved foster carers to join our team, and if you’re looking to transfer foster agencies then Telford Fostering could be the perfect place to join!

“We are already reaping the rewards of transferring to Telford. It is a real team approach and they have welcomed us with open arms.” – Quote from Debbie and Chris.

Transferring fostering agencies is easy!

If you are already a foster carer and thinking of leaving your fostering agency, then we would love to hear from you. Apply online or call 01952 387387 to talk to a member of our team today.

You don’t need to inform your fostering agency you are thinking of leaving them at this stage, we would be happy to visit you on an informal basis and answer any questions you may have.

Here are some of the reasons to transfer foster agencies to Telford Fostering:

  • We will always place a child with our own approved foster carers before approaching other agencies.
  • We can match pay your current rates.
  • Our training and support groups take place all across Telford and Wrekin, meaning you won’t have far to travel to attend a session.
  • You will have a dedicated social worker to support you through every step of the process.

Your social worker will be locally available and understand the key issues relevant to you and the child’s experience. 

Telford Fostering is run by the Telford & Wrekin Council and does not make any profit from fostering. Some private fostering agencies are run as businesses to maximise their return on investment for their shareholders. Every penny allocated to our department is spent on achieving the best outcomes for our children in care.
