Prospective foster carers will be able to speak confidentially to FosterTalk advisors and can use the services as often as they need to.

At FosterTalk, we pride ourselves for having supported Kinship and Connected carers for over 20 years, through our Household Membership, Services and Benefits.

In recognition of their role and relationship to the children they care for, and how it is unique and, in many ways, different from mainstream fostering, with its own complexities and support needs, we are separating our Household Membership into a Foster Carer Membership and a Kinship Carer Membership.

Both have the same great benefits as before, and our team of specialist advisors are experienced across the range of children foster carers and kinship carers care for, with years of established expertise and experience across the fields.

Whatever the query, concern, or advice, we are here to help, support and guide all carers, no matter what their status.

If you’ve recently become a Special Guardian, it is worth understanding that SGO’s can face the same types of issues and challenges as foster carers.
Our FosterTalk SGO membership provides a range of specialist services to support you with information and advice around Special Guardianship Orders.

FosterTalk SGO Membership is available for fostering services to purchase on behalf of individuals taking on a Special Guardianship Order, or as an individual membership.

My FosterTalk membership has been worth every penny, their dedicated SGO helpline has really helped me manage the transition within our family.

The legal cover was invaluable when I faced an allegation. It’s incredibly good value and really is essential for all retired carers.
If you are a retired Foster Carer, it is still important to protect yourself from any historic allegations that may arise.

Our FosterTalk Retired membership gives you and your household peace of mind with our comprehensive legal insurance cover and access to our legal helpline. Plus we keep you connected with our quarterly memberships magazine.

It costs me less than a weekly cup of coffee to receive the support and benefits I need for an easier foster care journey.
