National Fostering Agency

National Fostering Agency Getting it right in Scotland
We are committed to improving outcomes for Scotland’s Children. Our agency covers the whole of Scotland, including the Highlands.

We work with more than 130 foster parents and 200 children. We started as a small agency with around 40 carers and have since grown to become a large agency with 138 foster parents, but we have succeeded in retaining our local identity and feel. We’ve been finding loving foster carers to improve Scottish children’s lives for decades. We work hard to build good relationships with local authorities

across Scotland as well as local groups like the Scottish Through Care and After Care Forum. Our aim is to equip foster carers with the skills and support they need to ensure the best possible outcomes for foster children and young people and we’re keen to celebrate all the successes of our children. The team at NFA Scotland is committed to ensuring that foster carers feel supported and listened to. Someone is available to respond to issues at all times of the day and night and, wherever possible, the same person will see things through from start to finish to provide consistency and continuity. NFA Scotland manages its business according to local need and demand, but with the backing of a large national agency (National Fostering Group) behind it. This allows us to tap into a central pool of expert support and expertise, while maintaining an awareness of what our children, foster parents and local authorities need. We pride ourselves on providing a very high standard of care for some of Scotland’s most vulnerable children and young people. We achieve this by retaining and investing in our staff and foster carers, ensuring our matching process is effective, and working hard to give our foster children the same opportunities to achieve as any other young person.

What a spooktacular day at the National Fostering Agency East Halloween party in Lowestoft! 🎃💕

Children (and adults!) had so much fun with a disco, bouncy castle, candy floss, popcorn and plenty of spooky snacks.

The fancy dress and face painting were fang-tastic, everyone truly got into the Halloween spirit! 🌷

Recentley, we ignited a spark of self-love with Sarah from Temple Spa, who led our carers in a transformative self-care session that left them feeling revitalized and empowered!

Following on from this, we gifted our team a well-deserved break to unwind and recharge, because they work tirelessly behind the scenes to make a difference in the lives of our carers and the children in our care.

A brief but blissful rest before our team meeting was the perfect way to refuel and refocus. The video footage says it all - they throughly enjoyed the expereince

Thank you sarah 💆‍♀️✨

Did you know that around 80% of social, emotional and behavioural difficulties in children, have an underlying communication difficulty? We have two sessions coming up for parents and carers all about communication. We'll look at the basics around communication and strategies to help us support our child's communication.

After experiencing a difficult childhood, Fiza knew from a very young age that she wanted to open her home to children that needed a safe place to land.

Since being approved to foster in 2014, Fiza and her family have gone on to care for many children, from a three day old baby to a 17 year old young offender.

Wondering if you have what it takes to be a foster carer? Fiza says resilience, patience and a willingness to learn are key, and we couldn’t agree more ✨
