Benefits when transferring to Nexus Fostering
We value our foster carers and offer a comprehensive suite of benefits as part of our package...
We'll guide you through the process and support you every step of the way.
If you are an approved foster carer currently registered with a fostering service provider, but seeking more support and better service, then speaking to us about transferring to Nexus Fostering is a great place to start. We understand the importance of taking care of foster carers and their families so that they can provide the best care for children and young people.
If you are considering transferring from your existing fostering agency or local authority fostering service, we can help.
Understandably, you may have numerous questions, need reassurance, and there may be many reasons for wanting to move.
As a foster carer, you can choose to begin the process of seamlessly transferring foster care agencies today, whatever your reasons might be, to motivate the change.
Stability for the children in care is, of course, a highly important factor. There is a set fostering transfer which we follow as best practice. If you are currently fostering children at the time you transfer foster agency, a fostering transfer protocol meeting will be arranged. After the transfer protocol meeting, an agreement will be made for any children in your care to transfer with you. You will keep the same payment, expenses, and services for the whole placement, plus you'll get the extra benefits of being a Nexus foster carer. You can read more about the Fostering Transfer Protocol here.
