Britannia Fostering Agency
Britannia Foster Agency?
At Britannia, everything we do centres around providing the best possible experience for the children in our care. We never forget that each child is an individual, with their own specific needs. This is why we at Britannia Fostering Agency is committed to striving for new and improved ways to provide exemplary care for our children and young people in Croydon, London.
Our foster carers also enjoy a unique personal touch, and we make sure we really get to know them. So, when we match you with a child, we take everything into account, including your own needs and aspirations. You will enjoy a level of support that is hard to match, with the reassurance of 24/7 advice whenever you need it. Each foster carer is treated as a valued team member, working with us to create a positive experience and warm family environment for the child. So, whether you’re a newcomer or a highly experienced foster carer, Britannia Fostering can help you achieve everything you expect.

This experience enables us to focus on ensuring that foster carers receive the support, training, and guidance they need to provide outstanding care for the children placed with them.
How we support you
At Britannia Fostering Agency, we appreciate what a tough job foster caring is, but with the right support and dedicated team around you, together we can make an extraordinary difference to the lives of children. That’s why we offer the following support to our carers:
- 24/7 Telephone Support – there is always a duty team to contact, day or night.
- Your own experienced Supervising Social Worker who will be your first point of contact once approved and will conduct regular supervisions. The child has their own social worker
