Anglia Fostering Agency is founded and owned by three Social Work Professionals and exists to provide fostering services to Local Authorities in the East of England.

Our Mission Statement is: “Anglia Fostering Agency aims to provide Quality care with Integrity and Respect.”

We aim to provide care to children locally, to keep them in touch with their families, friends and communities.

The young people we care for need a home which can provide stability and consistency, which is flexible enough to understand and cope with the behaviour they may display and which is resilient enough to not give up and help a child reach their full potential.

We are looking for both experienced and new foster carers from a wide variety of backgrounds, cultures, religions and social groups.

We are particularly looking for carers for teenagers, sibling groups and parent and child placements.

Our commitment to you - we will provide:

  • Genuine 24 hours a day, 7 days a week support from experienced and qualified staff
  • Regular supervision visits, at least monthly and frequent telephone support
  • Quality foundation training alongside your assessment.
  • Ongoing training to develop your knowledge and childcare skills leading to the Children’s Workforce Development Council certificate and beyond
  • Regular support groups local to your area as well as social events during the year
  • A comprehensive allowance to cover all your day to day costs to enable you to view fostering as a career.

St Christopher’s operates specialist schemes in both Sandwell, and Essex. This is a therapeutic carer scheme in partnership with the LA’s. These schemes require one carer to be at home full time, and generally not to have birth children in the home. These are retained schemes, meaning that even if there is no one in placement, a fee is paid. These placements focus on Teenagers, Parent and child and large sibling groups.

Generally these children and young people have had difficulties settling into previous placements and on occasion, have been in remand.

In London alongside our standard service offerings; St Christopher’s also operates a specialist Asylum / Unaccompanied minor’s scheme. Particularly appropriate in the areas around the main airports, Heathrow, Gatwick and Stanstead. We specifically look for practicing Moslems, ideally speaking Urdu or Punjabi as well as English.
