Our Mission
Support, every step of the way. From your initial enquiry through to your first foster child, and beyond.
As a child-centred fostering agency, our goal is simple: to provide outstanding care for children and young people.
We want to support our children and young people in building meaningful relationships with our foster parents, helping them establish trust and develop their self-esteem. Our therapeutic approach to fostering means we place the needs of our children at the heart of every decision we make, providing holistic support that ensures they can secure positive, fulfilling futures.

Our Process
At Compass Fostering, we aim for a personal approach. We take the time to really get to know you, establishing a strong relationship with you and your family to ensure you receive tailored support that meets your individual needs. Read our simple 6-step process to becoming a foster parent.
Pay
Becoming a foster parent is an incredibly fulfilling experience, but it is also a significant commitment. To recognise their hard work, foster parents receive regular fostering allowance payments. Read our guide to fostering allowances to learn more.
Our Ethos
We exist to make lasting and lifelong differences in children’s lives.
At Compass, we believe every child and young person should be treated with fairness, respect and care.
We work with foster parents who share that same belief — Life Changers who provide safety, stability and encouragement when it matters most. With the right support behind them, children can begin to feel secure, build confidence and look forward to a brighter future.
Compass is a group of fostering agencies, children’s homes and specialist education services.
That means our foster parents are part of a wider, interconnected network of care. From placement support to therapeutic input and education, our services work together to achieve the best possible outcomes for children, helping them feel supported, safe and able to thrive.
Compass is committed to being a fostering agency where every child, young person and foster family feels respected, understood and included.
We welcome foster parents from diverse backgrounds. What matters most is the care, commitment and patience you can offer a child. We believe diverse foster families help children feel seen, supported and valued — empowering them to thrive and carry that impact forward.
