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.

Norfolk couple reflects one year on from transferring fostering agencies to Nexus Fostering.
When we moved over to the local authorities, it didn’t take long to realise that we had made a mistake as we thought the support wasn’t there. However, Nexus is like family, so we returned as soon as possible. We love Nexus.
Kim and Malcolm transferred from their previous agency four years ago. They brought with them two sibling brothers (children numbers 8 & 9 from a family of 10!). One child had very challenging behaviour and they felt like their previous agency gave them little or no support.
