“We are already reaping the rewards of transferring to Telford. It is a real team approach and they have welcomed us with open arms.”
Fostering with Telford & Wrekin Council means being part of a group where practical support and professional experience combine to make a world of difference.
But don’t take it just from us. Chris and Debbie Wheeler recently joined Telford Fostering from an independent agency and transferred with ease, bringing their foster child with them. Debbie said: “If you are already foster carers but are put off transferring because of the process and forms, it has changed. “We have just transferred with our foster child who is with another local authority. It has taken five painless weeks from application to panel. “The process has been very smooth. Our assessing social worker has been amazing. “She read our files with our current agency, and we met a few times online. She was happy to arrange these in the evening once our little one was in bed. It really was that easy.”
