If you are already a foster carer and thinking about a change to MKC, we will make the transition as smooth as possible for you and fast track your application.

Benefits of fostering for Milton Keynes

• Your social worker and the children’s social worker are working for the same organisation, following the same policies. 
• We value and recognise your experience.
• We provide support and training locally. Saving you time and travel.
• We always look to place children with our carers first and we want them to be local.
• As an MK carer you would only have Milton Keynes’ children placed with you so would only need to work with one local authority
• We take our time to plan placements to work for you and the child.
• Incentive payments to join us.
• Extensive and exciting training programme 
• Local support groups available 
• Competitive rates of pay and allowances 
• We provide free membership to The Fostering Network
