What is the difference between fostering with an Independent Fostering Agency (IFA) or with a Local Authority?
Local Authorities are ultimately responsible for the wellbeing of all children in public care. They need to find the best way of looking after these children to make sure that they receive the best possible standard of care. IFAs such as Anchor Foster Care services provide a fostering service to Local Authorities and we work in partnership with them.
