What Our Foster Carers Say About Horizon

Over the years our foster carers have provided feedback about our services and support, here are just a few. We will add some more very soon.

Become A Foster Carer In London

After this home visit

if you would like to continue the process to be assessed as a foster carer for Horizon, you will need to let your current agency or LA know about your intention to transfer in writing. If you have a foster child in placement, you will also need to let their social worker from the LA know. This is so everyone is on the same page and aware of your intentions so the child’s best interests can be held in mind and any potential impact on them considered.
The child’s LA will then organise a ‘Transfer Meeting’ which is held with you, your current agency, the child’s social worker, Horizon Fostering and any other appropriate professionals. This meeting will discuss the best interests of the foster child, any potential impact a transfer to another agency may have on them, as well as setting out what the next few months will look like for everyone.

Preparation to Foster

If everyone is agreed that a transfer will not unsettle or negatively impact the foster child, and the carer is happy to proceed with Horizon Fostering Service, you will be invited to attend our two day training course called ‘Preparation to Foster’. This is similar to the ‘Skills to Foster’ course you previously would have attended before being approved.
Then you will continue on to the Form F assessment and checks and references. This will not take as long as your previous Form F assessment as some of the information needed is already available. The assessment will be presented at panel for a recommendation as to whether they feel you should be approved as a foster carer with Horizon or not.

Our Agency Decision Maker

Lastly, our Agency Decision Maker will review the Form F assessment, panel minutes and recommendation and confirm if you can be approved as a foster carer with us. Following this, you will need to submit in writing your 28 days’ notice/resignation with your current agency and once this period has expired, you will officially be a member of the Horizon Fostering family. If you have any questions about transferring fostering agencies, or want to know more about fostering for Horizon, please contact us on 02082002355 or submit the enquiry form on our website and a member of the recruitment team will be in touch with you.

Transferring without a foster child in placement

If you do not have a foster child in placement, the process is slightly easier as you will not need to have a ‘Transfer Meeting’. The rest of the process remains the same.
