Our Support

As a foster carer, you need to know who supports you and how. This can be the difference between success and failiure.

24/7 support for you when you are fostering

Being a foster carer never stops, which means neither should the support you receive.

As a South Coast Fostering carer, you’ll have a dedicated supervising social worker who will not only visit you, but also be on call to you 24/7. So if there’s an emergency, they are there for you.

Great Financial Rewards

We are proud to pay our carers one of the highest fee level there is in the country for standard fostering. 

We believe foster carers should be fairly rewarded for all their hard work, so our carers receive:
£425 to care for a child under 11 per week,
£450 to care for a child 11 and over per week.

Last year our carers received an average of £734 per week.

Professional Development

We know that foster carers love to learn, both from their experiences and also more structured education. 

So we provide an abundance of in-person, zoom and online training. We only provide trainings which are relevant and interesting. We know people generally want to learn about useful things, so we always try to make the trainings as practical as possible.

Carer Testimonials

“Our ssw was always there for us, even when we had to call her at 11pm on a Friday she answered, she knew if we were calling it was an emergency and we needed her support.”
