Transfer to us

Why join us instead of an agency?

With so many children requiring placements we are always happy to hear from experienced carers who already have the skills needed to make a difference to a child’s life.

If you already foster and would like to find out more about the benefits of continuing your fostering career with Dudley Council, please contact us by calling 01384 815833 or complete our online enquiry form, we guarantee your enquiry will be dealt with confidentially.

We aim to place our children with our own foster carers before approaching fostering agencies. Should you decide to go ahead and transfer to us our aim is to make the process as quick, easy and smooth as possible for you and any children currently in placement with you.

As a local authority we do not make a profit from fostering. We offer financial support for equipment, holidays, Christmas and birthdays. All of our carers have support available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
