History

Established in 1989, Fostering Support Group Ltd was one of the first independent fostering agencies to provide placements to Local Authorities. The majority of our foster carers were recruited in South London, Kent and Sussex.

In 2005, we were acquired by Care UK; our fundamental services continued but the agency was renamed as Care UK Children’s Services. In December 2010, the agency was acquired by CareTech Ltd and changed its name to CareTech Foster Care Ltd. However, the two name changes led to some confusion and in May 2012, the decision was made to revert back to our original name – Fostering Support Group (FSG).

FSG has a Head Office based in Shortlands and is registered with Ofsted and received a rating of ‘Good’ in their last Ofsted inspections.

The agency is managed by a team of experienced and qualified professionals, who are dedicated to providing innovative, needs-centred service for children and young people in foster care.
