Transfer to us

If you're currently fostering through a private fostering agency and would like to move across to Lambeth, we'd love to hear from you. The first thing to do is call us and we'll talk through the process. It's very straightforward. There are a number of benefits from transferring over to foster directly with us.

We'll always place our children with our own carers wherever possible. Only in special circumstances do we use fostering agencies. It means that you have the best chance of getting placements and therefore, there is a reduced risk of you having long periods without a placement.

If you live in or are close to Lambeth it makes sense to work with us because we're right on your doorstep. It means if you need our support or help, we’re close by. Best of all, you’ll be making a real difference to your local community by helping Lambeth families in need.

If you're already a registered foster carer, the transfer process will be as smooth and simple as we can make it. And if you are already fostering a child for Lambeth, then we'll try to match your current agency rate for the duration of your current placement, even if this is more than our normal published allowances.
