Slough Children First’s Independent Fostering Agency: Improving the recruitment and retention of foster carers

Abstract

The client organisation is Slough Children First Independent Fostering Agency (SCF IFA). SCF IFA is focused on maintaining an adequate pool of foster carers. Foster carers provide stable homes for children who, for various reasons, cannot remain with their families. SCF IFA’s current pool of foster carers is not sufficient to meet the demand. SCF IFA has seen an increase in the total number of fostering enquiries over the last five years, but has not been able to convert more enquiries to applicants willing to foster. The project was given the green light to evaluate reasons behind the problem situation, and to provide recommendations based on the key themes that emerged following data collection and analysis.
