The Foster Care Workers Union strives to empower foster carers and support you through issues you may face. To be eligible for support from our legal department you need to have been a member for at least two calendar months prior to an incident arising.
Once you are a member, the branch will support you to answer everyday questions you might have about fostering, resolve individual complaints or grievances with your Local Authority or Independent Fostering Agency. If your issues relate to legal employment matters, such as de-registration, transferring fostering provider, or panel hearings you are entitled to support from our team of experienced caseworkers in the IWGB legal department.
“Throughout the whole process the Union team involved were supportive, knowledgeable, encouraging and sympathetic to my predicament. I could not have asked for a better team”
– Wendy, FCWU Member
