"From the day we moved I've always been really happy".
Join Jayne and Sally as they talk honestly about why they chose to transfer to their Local Authority from an Independent Fostering Agency. From the practicalities of being part of a local network of Foster Carers, Social Workers, Education and Health Professionals and Police, to the ethical considerations behind their decision to transfer - distinctions many people simply don't realise exist and what they wish prospective Foster Carers understood before choosing who to foster with.
Whether you're already fostering or considering becoming a Foster Carer, this open and honest discussion highlights why understanding the differences between the Local Authority Fostering Service and Independent Fostering Agencies truly matters.
