Frequently asked questions about transferring fostering services

What's a typical fostering transfer timeline?

The transfer fostering services process is typically quicker than going through the foster approval process from scratch. While each case is different, you could transfer to us within months

Can I transfer with a child in I care for?

Foster carers can usually transfer with children they currently care for. We follow the Fostering Network Transfer Protocol for the transfer of foster carers. We will work with you and your agency to put the needs of the child or young person at the centre of the process.
