England
Our professional fostering teams based across England have a wealth of experience in caring for vulnerable young people and the foster carers who look after them.
Let's chatFind out more about the fostering services that we offer in England.
Our fostering agency in England offers all our foster carers and their families access to a team of clinical psychologists should they need this support. We also provide a 24-hour, year round phone line that gives our foster carers direct contact with a professional social worker. We want our foster carers to know that they can rely on us for support. We hold monthly supervisions and put our foster carers in touch with a buddy local to them so that they always have support, someone to talk to, and can ask for advice when needed.

Our agency aims to provide the highest level of training to our foster carers to effectively manage any challenging situation that may arise. An annual training plan will be developed by our dedicated social workers alongside their foster carers ensuring everyone is listened to and all training needs are met.
All our foster carers in England are trained in attachment and developmental trauma and therapeutic parenting approaches following our unique therapeutic framework (HOMES).

Action for Children Fostering provides competitive fees comparable with other fostering agencies in England. You could receive up to £26,000 per year in fostering fees; depending on the type of fostering you choose, your location, and the young person you care for.
We also provide an allowance to cover your young person’s expenses such as toiletries, activities, travel, pocket money, clothes, and a mobile phone. This allowance ranges from £140- £240 per week.
