Membership
'NAFP has been a breath of fresh air. Your engagement with providers has in my view been brilliant and I learnt a lot.'
IFA registered manager
We are the only organisation that campaigns solely for independent fostering providers and the children they care for across England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Guided by you, we operate at the interface between our members, local authorities, inspectorates and national government. We campaign in every arena that matters – so that you can do more of what you do best: getting the very best for the children in your care.
NAFP members care for around 96% of children living with IFA foster carers across England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
I am very pleased with our agency being a member of NAFP. We experience the benefits of being part of a group of IFPs working together and sharing experiences, especially in dealing with local authorities.
We are delighted with the support, guidance and service you provide so we are happy to continue our membership
Just a quick note to say I really enjoyed the discussions at today’s meeting. I found them very useful and also reassuring to know we are all in this together.
Thank you so much for the list of local authority contacts. This is worth the annual membership fee alone!
I can’t think of any improvements, there is excellent and regular communication between ourselves and NAFP. It is good to get together with other providers at the regional events.
NAFP effectively represents the IFP sector and tirelessly seeks to ground discussion, inform members, encourage cooperation, improve image and engage with commissioners and government
Very responsive and personal service, local meetings, briefings and updates are really helpful, feel included in something with a much bigger voice to be heard nationally
Thank you for your very helpful email in reply to my enquiries. It is reassuring that your advice and service is so accessible and swift to respond. I will certainly be in touch if I have any further questions.
Just to say a massive thank you for the difference you have made whilst I have been a member of NAFP
I just wanted to say thank you for all the information and guidance NAFP have provided over the last few months. It has been really helpful and made me feel reassured that the issues/problems this pandemic has thrown our way have been experienced by everyone.
