Transfer to foster with Sutton Council

If you’re registered with another foster care agency, it’s easy to transfer to us.

We welcome experienced foster carers who are interested in transferring to Sutton. We recognise the skills that experienced foster carers can bring and are keen to discuss this with you further.

Benefits of working with us

We don’t make any profit from fostering which means we can fully focus on the children and families in our care. 

You can benefit from our:

  • small, friendly team with a supportive atmosphere
  • low turnover of staff, meaning your supervising social worker will develop a good working relationship with you and your family
  • local knowledge and experience
  • close relationship with the children’s social work team, meaning we can easily share vital information with each other

All transfers follow the Fostering Network Transfer protocol.

Contact us to transfer

Call 020 8770 5563 or email fostering.duty@sutton.gov.uk.

We can have an informal chat with you to tell you about our agency and how transferring works.
