Working together

We're now working with 19 other local authorities to recruit and support more amazing foster carers. Our fostering team here at Surrey will continue to support you on your foster carer journey but now you will also benefit from a centralised regional enquiry hub, with local authorities working together to ensure you get the very best training and support from the start of your fostering journey.

What's more, when you join us you'll now also be joining a wider network of over 2,800 amazing fostering families across the South East, all working together to change the lives of children in our communities.
