About UK Fostering

• 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. Our aim is to provide
  children and local authorities with fully
  trained, compassionate and competent foster care,
  when they need it most.

How UK Fostering Works

• We are a fostering service provider used by local
  authorities in London the South East, The
  Midlands, the North West of England and the North
  East. Foster carers are in huge demand, and local
  authorities often find they have more children
  awaiting foster homes than they can accommodate
  through their own pool of foster carers. We
  address this problem, providing children with
  warm, loving foster families through various
  different placement types, from emergency
  fostering to long term solutions and more
  specialised placements such as therapeutic or
  remand fostering.

Our Fostering Services

• The foster carers at UK Fostering have a range of
  skills and expertise. All fostering families
  undergo our extensive training programme which is
  designed to provide them with the tools for a
  range of different placement types and
  situations. In addition we offer a support
  structure which ensures there is always someone
  available should they need to address any issues
  or concerns. We believe this is fundamental to
  the level of care we provide to children and
  young people. For more information on the
  different services and fostering placements we
  offer, please see our Services page.

Emergency Fostering

• This is a placement that is made within 24 hours
  of it being requested, and where there has been
  no prior plan. UK Fostering provides a 24-hour
  emergency service for urgent cases such as these.
  Ideally an emergency placement should not exceed
  two weeks.

Short-term fostering bridging placements

• This is basically a short-term fostering. A child
  or young person in a bridging placement may be
  awaiting a more permanent placement such as a
  long term foster family, or a family assessment
  centre. The period of this type of fostering
  placement could be anything from a few days to
  weeks or months, whilst plans are made for the
  future of the child with the relevant Local
  Authorities or social services departments.

Parent and Child Placements

• This type of fostering placement is for young
  people who have become parents at a young age and
  who need support and guidance in caring for their
  own child. Support, observation and assessment
  work can be carried out on behalf of the Local
  Authority. If required, qualified staff can
  prepare court reports and statements.
