Transfer to Croydon
Council fostering service

We are continually transferring approved foster carers to our service, thanks to the additional benefits we offer.

We have a swift and straightforward fast-track assessment transfer process.

You can ask us anything in confidence

Any conversations you have with us will be 100% confidential.

We fully respect the privacy of everyone that we speak with, and will never communicate anything without your approval.

Carers that transfer to us do so for the following reasons:

  • We always look to place Croydon children with our carers first
  • We place children aged 0-18, so offer a very wide matching range
  • Support and training is local
  • Our foster service has a real ‘family feel’
  • Opportunity to join ‘Horizons’ fostering hubs
  • Our competitive allowance and expenses payments of up to £922 per week per child
  • £1500 ‘welcome’ payment upon approval 
  • Up to 12 weeks retainer fees
  • Council tax reimbursement
  • Annual £1500 loyalty bonus, paid every year after the first 3 of fostering for Croydon Council
  • Access to educational support
  • Access to a fostering specific therapist for you and your family

“If you’re looking for genuine support and want to be in an environment where both you and your young person are nurtured by committed professionals, I’d say transfer to Croydon.”
– Christine (Croydon Transferring Carer)
