National Union of Professional Foster Carers (NUPFC)

Providing Valuable Support for Foster Carers

The NUPFC is the first government-approved and certified trade union supporting and protecting foster carers.

Whilst the fostering of a child or children is certainly one of the most rewarding things you can do, it is no doubt without its challenges.

If you are an experienced fosterer, you will know that sometimes things happen that may place you in a situation where you really don’t know where to turn for independent and trustworthy advice.

Why joining The NUPFC is important for foster carers

The National Union of Professional Foster Carers (NUPFC) provide valuable assistance and services to its members, including representation during the allegations process, representation during standard of care proceedings, as well as helping to find solutions to problems that may occur between you and your foster agency or local authority.

We’re there to support you if things go wrong.

For as little as £10 per month, you can enjoy peace of mind knowing that should a problem arise that may leave you feeling vulnerable, you will have the support of an experienced team on hand to advise you or provide legal advice if the matter gets complicated.
