Many children are in need of fostering in Liverpool and across the North West. We’re looking for applicants new to fostering or who have experience and want to transfer. We offer specialist training, 24/7 support and active peer support.
If you’re considering becoming a foster parent, choose a fostering agency with local teams who will be with you every step.
National Fostering Group is the largest independent fostering agency in the UK with superb agency coverage across all regions – meaning you have the support of a team close to you.
One of the most established fostering agencies in Liverpool, we work with local authorities to place children and young people in homes where they can thrive.
As a foster carer with us, you’ll have unparalleled access to professional support and excellent free training in your local area. We want you to thrive too, being the best you can be in your role as foster carer.
On top of this, carers who are fostering in Liverpool have access to a very large and active peer network that includes local support groups.
I thoroughly enjoy fostering with my agency. It’s close knit and I have always had an excellent relationship with my Supervising Social Worker. I have never been without a placement and up to now all the placements I have had have been a perfect match for me and my family.
The support I receive is great and the training is brilliant too. I actually do more training than needed because the courses are not only informative but also enjoyable. I love the carer lunches, where the other foster carers meet every few months for a catch up!
Although I’m a single carer, I never feel alone due to the level of support from the agency and also having made friends with the other carers in the agency.
I find the commitment and skilfulness of the foster carers I supervise really inspiring, and it’s amazing how quickly they learn more once they’ve been approved.
It’s really important to me to make sure I’m available at the end of the phone when they need some advice, and I think my foster carers are glad to know that there are some really good services available to them, like our peer support service Helping Hands or our therapeutic one-to-one service TAPSS, if they need that bit of extra help with a difficult situation.
