Are you looking for a change?
Looking for a change or new challenge? You can easily transfer to Pathway Care from another fostering agency, it's quite an easy process and you'll be totally within your rights to do so. Fostering network have provided a protocol regarding transferring which states:
"The transfer of carers protocol is based on the assumption that carers have the right to freedom of movement between fostering services; and the principle that, in all circumstances, the welfare of any child in placement must be paramount" (Fostering Network 2004)
If you're thinking of transferring, we'd love to hear from you.
Obviously yours and Pathway Care's first consideration is to the stability of any children or young people in your care. That's why our first aim will always be not to disrupt the children's placement and to continue the positive work you have achieved to date.
In most cases, following a protocol meeting with the placing Local Authority, agreement can be reached for the children to transfer to Pathway Care with you.
Pathway Care always gives a commitment to maintaining the current terms of the placement to you and the placing local authority. This means that you will continue to receive the same level of payment, expenses and services to support the child for the duration of the placement, where these exceed those provided by Pathway Care.
If you are considering transferring to another agency and currently do not have any children in placement, then the process is far simpler.
