information DESCRIPTION

Established in 1996, we have extensive experience of working with local authorities to provide a positive and stable family environment for children and young people who have had a difficult start in life.

We work nationwide with a wide range of carers across England and Scotland, who are all committed to ensuring that looked after young people receive the very best support and care in a positive, safe environment where they can thrive.

What is an Independent Fostering Agency (IFA) and how is it different from local authority fostering?

Local authorities are ultimately responsible for the wellbeing of all children in care. If the local authority is unable to accommodate a child in care, they delegate this responsibility to an independent fostering agency (IFA) like us. We work in partnership with the local authority to achieve the best possible outcomes for looked-after children and young people.

The local authority sends us referrals for children from a variety of backgrounds that require different levels of support and care. All our carers receive comprehensive training and 24-hour support from our qualified staff.

We recruit Foster Carers across England and Scotland, offering full training and professional development, 24 hour support from local teams, and generous pay and benefits.

Our Fosterplus office in Edinburgh covers the City of Edinburgh, Mid Lothian, East Lothian, West Lothian, Falkirk, Stirling and Borders. With extensive training and bespoke support, we strive to offer the best in foster care services.
