How can I make a Complaint against the Fostering Service?

Current and prospective foster carers can make a complaint about any aspect of the fostering service which affects them directly. The fostering service has a written complaints procedure.

In the first instance, you may want to consider raising any concerns with your supervising social worker or a manager in the Fostering Service. This is often the quickest route to resolving issues.

You can, however, make a formal complaint straight away if you prefer.

If you are helping a child in your care complain or want to complain on their behalf, please see the Complaints by and for Children Procedure.
