If you’re already a foster carer with another provider, you can transfer to us.
By fostering with us, you help ensure that more Hartlepool children are placed with local carers and that all financial resources go directly into supporting local children.
Why transfer to us?
- We prioritise placing Hartlepool children with our foster carers
- You’re more likely to have children placed with you through the council
- We support children aged 0 to 18 years, offering a wide range of placement opportunities
- You’ll receive ongoing training, dedicated support and access to our full fostering service
Thinking about transferring?
You don’t need to inform your current fostering provider to have an initial conversation with us. It’s perfectly okay to get information before making a decision.
You can remain approved with your current agency until you are ready to be approved by our Fostering Panel.
