It is important that you foster with the service that you feel is the right one for you and one that offers you the support you need to do what is a challenging and complex role.

There can be many reasons why foster carers may wish to change fostering services but we know that foster carers who have chosen Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council is because of the high level of support we offer.

If you’re thinking about making the move, it’s a good idea to speak to one of our friendly team. We can provide you with open, honest advice about the transfer process and give you all the information you need to make an informed choice.
The transfer process is slightly different depending on whether you have a child placed with you or not and it’s important to remember that you can only be approved by one agency at a time.

We will do everything we can to support you through this process and useful guidance can be found from The Fostering Network.
