Foster Carer's Transfer Agent
Who can foster
Transfer Successes
As professional foster carers we moved agency because we were not being offered placements......
Anyone can apply to be a foster carer. It does not matter if you are married or single, gay or lesbian, young or old.
There are some basic requirements, for example are you aged 21 yrs or older, physically and mentally fit, have a positive approach to looking after vulnerable young people, have a spare room available.
Experience of parenting or caring for children is desirable but not essential. Foster Carers are ordinary people of all ages, from all walks of life and ethnic backgrounds.
Ideally, foster carers should have some life experience to draw on to help support and nurture the child they are looking after—empathy and understanding are key characteristics in foster carers.
Foster carers can be married or living together, single, divorced, widowed, in a single sex relationship, be working or unemployed, own a home or rent, have birth children or not.
If you are on Benefits, you will not lose them.
Any money that you get for looking after the children is an allowance that is paid to you to be spent on the child. It is not classed as a 'wage' so your benefits are safe.
The assessment will take four to six months.
