Fostering South West

Your gateway to fostering in the South West

Overview

Fostering South West are your gateway to local council fostering in the south west. We’re coming together behind a shared mission: to welcome more people into the rewarding journey of foster care and improve experiences for both carers, and the children they nurture.

Who is part of this Network?

Fostering South West represents a partnership among the 15 local councils from across the south west of England. For the first time, fostering services across the region are collaborating to actively recruit essential prospective foster carers. Whilst also coming together to improve the retention of foster carers, via the Mockingbird scheme.
