Opportunity overview

The Fostering Network provides the width of advice and training required. A contract has been awarded to The Fostering Network without competition on the basis that they are the only provider who can deliver the services. There is no other countrywide organisation able to offer the level of support, guidance and training required for foster carers or staff. All local authorities use the Fostering Network for these purposes.
