Families for Children is one of the longest established and most well respected fostering agencies in the country and we have now been operating successfully for over twenty years. As one of the very first independent agencies in the UK, we understand how crucial it is to provide first class support to our carers if they are to offer safe, caring and successful placements for children and young people, and have their own lives enriched through a fostering career with us.

Families for Children remains a truly independent agency. This means that best outcomes for children, a top quality service for carers and careful matching remain our priorities. The original founders still play key roles in the organisation, ensuring the highest standards of support, care and opportunity for children, young people, foster carers and staff.

We have local centres throughout Sussex, Surrey, London and Hampshire. These are all staffed by experienced, skilled and friendly people who have been carefully recruited and trained to work alongside our foster carers to ensure we continue to provide an 'outstanding' service. We are always keen to hear from people interested in joining our team of foster carers.

Families for Children was delighted to retain the Investor in People award for another three years following our inspection in May 2009. Please click here for more information.
