# Fostering Recruitment Hub

## Resources and services to help councils increase their foster carer numbers and reduce marketing cost per approval

Councils (including council-owned services) spend hundreds of millions of pounds every year placing children with IFA carers and in residential homes. This can be avoided when councils are geared up to recruit enough carers in their area to meet demand. Our goal is for every council in the country to significantly increase their foster carer numbers, and reduce their marketing spend per approval. We have developed a range of resources and services to achieve this. The Fostering Hub is only for councils and council-owned services, so some sections require registration and verification before they can be accessed.
