Are you thinking about becoming a foster carer? Fostering can be an incredibly enriching and rewarding experience for both a foster carer and the young people they look after.
UK Fostering is an independent fostering agency and was set up by a team of dedicated professionals who are passionate about changing the lives of children. We provide children and local authorities with fully trained, compassionate and competent foster care, when they need it most. Together, we quite literally change lives.

I am a foster carer with UK Fostering because at the time when we decided to look into fostering we were very unsure on what we had to look for but luckily for us UK Fostering were the 1st agency to appear on google search.
We are delighted to be a part of the UK Fostering team. As a newly qualified carer we couldn’t have asked for better training and support throughout, from our first contact via the website, to gaining our Fostering approval certification.
have been a foster carer with UK Fostering since 2014. I can’t recommend them enough! I am extremely happy with the working relationship I have with not only my supervising social worker (who is absolutely fantastic by the way) but everyone within the UK Fostering team!
I am a foster carer for UK Fostering because they understand the importance of placing a child in homes with well-supported and trained Foster Carers. They truly understand what it takes to invest in a vulnerable child and will do all they can to support the carers as much as the child/children.

Fostering refers to looking after a child who is currently unable to live with their family. To address the emotional needs and care for such children, foster carers (assessed and approved at panel) receive initial ongoing training and support to be able to care for a child or young person through what may be a confusing and emotional time for that child..
Foster care is a way of offering children and young people a home while their own family are unable to look after them. This can be for a variety of reasons, from temporary illness to issues such as abuse within their home or the death of a primary carer.
Foster carers need to have a broad range of skills and qualities, including being a great listener, having a good sense of humour, being optimistic, having their feet firmly on the ground and showing resilience.
The types of fostering we offer at UK Fostering range from emergency placements to planned placements, as well as more specialised types of foster care such as therapeutic fostering and remand fostering.
At UK Fostering we feel it’s important that our foster carers are treated as professionals and that we pay a competitive foster carer allowance for their work and skills.
