We are Fostering Devon
Fostering Devon is part of Devon County Council. We operate as a strict not-for-profit fostering service, meaning we can focus on the best interest of the child and our carer’s.
Benefits of fostering with Fostering Devon
Guidance and support
We’ll ensure that you are thoroughly prepared, well-supported and given ongoing opportunities to develop your knowledge and skills throughout your journey with us.
Training
Continual learning and development is an important part of your role as a foster carer. A high-quality training programme is offered before your first placement, and you will receive ongoing opportunities to further upskill.
Fostering allowances
We pay a generous weekly allowance per child, depending on their level of need, to cover the expenses of caring for a child or young person and the time you spend looking after them.
You are our priority
Fostering with us means that you are more likely to be able to care for a child sooner than if you foster through a private or independent fostering agency.
Mockingbird support network
Mockingbird supports children, young people and foster families to build a resilient and caring community and replicates the wider extended family model. It is a global award winning and pioneering fostering programme led by The Fostering Network in the UK that delivers sustainable foster care.
