Transferring from another authority or agency

Transfer to Central Bedfordshire from another authority or agency

Ofsted good provider

If you are already fostering you have the right to move to an alternative fostering service.

Our fostering service is a non-profit organisation. It has a dynamic fostering community looking after local children and young people.

If you live in or around Central Bedfordshire, we are a great place to foster with. Everything you need is right on your doorstep and we all work together with the best interests of the child at the heart of everything we do.

Why transfer to us?

As a local authority, our priority is to always place our children with our own carers. If you transfer to us, you are unlikely to ever have a vacancy unless it’s your choice.

We have extensive knowledge about the children in our care, which means we can better match our children with our foster carers.

Our allowances and fees are very generous. We will match the fees and allowances you currently receive for any child you already care for. You may even find that you are better off financially fostering for us.
