What if I am already a foster carer for another agency?
People cannot be registered with more than one fostering agency. If you are a foster carer for another agency you will need to discuss your interest in joining St Christopher’s with your current supervising social worker. We will then, with your permission, contact the agency to discuss the practicalities. There are protocols in place to guide agencies in respect of arrangements when foster carers leave one agency and become registered as foster carers with another agency. You will need to undertake a period of further preparation and assessment, and we are required to take up fresh references and to undertake a Criminal Records Bureau check.
