How do I transfer fostering agency?
How long will the transfer take?
As a current foster carer, your assessment with TACT will be fast-tracked.
The transfer process may be slightly different depending on which fostering service you’re transferring from or if you’re transferring with a child or young person.
Once we have more information on your situation, we will be able to give you more accurate timescales but rest assured it will likely be much faster than your first initial assessment.
Here are the transfer steps:
1. Make an enquiry
Start by making an enquiry using the form on this page, or by calling us on 0330 123 2250.
If you are using our form, select ‘I am currently a foster carer’.
2. We will contact you
We will make contact with you, and discuss the full process and answer any questions that you may have.
3. Initiate the transfer
If after talking to us it is decided that the transfer should go ahead, you should inform your current agency or local authority of your wish to transfer, if you haven’t done so already.
We will also make contact with your current fostering service in order to initiate the transfer.
4. Fast Track Invitation
We will invite you to a fast-track meeting.
You will not need to take our Skills To Foster course – although you are more than welcome to participate if you wish!
5. Assessment
We undertake the assessment process with you.
