Fostering in Dundee
Foster Care Agency
We’ve been training and supporting excellent foster parents in Scotland for more than 20 years. And over this time, we’ve become renowned for our expertise in carefully matching children with foster families who can meet their needs and help them achieve incredible things.
Our Dundee fostering team support foster families from Dunfermline and Kirkcaldy, up to Aberdeen and everywhere in between, including Perth, Kinross, Fife, Angus and more. There’s currently a real shortage of foster parents across Scotland and so we’re looking for more passionate and committed individuals who can help us build brighter futures for children in care.
Whether you’re experienced or new to fostering, our extensive training and support package provides you with everything you need to make a real difference. This includes fortnightly supervision with your dedicated social worker, a first-class training programme delivered locally and online, and access to 121 support for the young people in your care. As part of the Fosterplus family, you’ll never feel alone.

Proud of the outcomes we achieve
We achieve successful, stable foster care placements through building strong relationships with our foster families; by understanding their strengths, vulnerabilities, family dynamics and training and support requirements, we’re able to carefully match their skillset with the needs of a child.
Successful outcomes always start with the quality of the matching – and we take extra care when placing a child with a family to ensure a positive and rewarding experience for all.
Already fostering?
We try to make things as simple as possible to transfer to us if you’re looking to change from your current foster care agency or local authority.
