Use of the website
Foster Care Compare is a free, independent directory that helps people find and compare fostering agencies across the UK. By using this website, you agree to these terms.
You may use the site for personal, non-commercial purposes only. You must not:
- Copy, scrape, or republish our content without permission
- Use the site to send unsolicited marketing or spam

Accuracy of information
We do our best to keep the information on this site accurate and up to date. However, fostering agency details — including Ofsted ratings, services offered, and contact information — can change.
While we make every reasonable effort to verify the information we publish, we cannot guarantee that every detail is complete, accurate, or current at all times. You should always confirm important details directly with the fostering agency before making any decisions.
If you spot something that looks incorrect, please let us know and we will investigate promptly.
Third party links
Our site contains links to fostering agency websites, Ofsted reports, and other external resources. These links are provided for your convenience and information.
We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or practices of any third party websites. Visiting a third party site is at your own risk, and you should review their terms and privacy policies before submitting any personal information to them.
Limitation of liability
Foster Care Compare is an information and comparison service. We do not provide fostering services ourselves, place children into care, or act as an intermediary between you and fostering agencies.
To the extent permitted by law, we accept no liability for any loss, damage, or inconvenience arising from:
- Your use of, or reliance on, any information on this site
- Any decision you make based on information found through our directory
- Your interactions or arrangements with any fostering agency listed here
- Temporary unavailability of the website or any technical issues
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits our liability for fraud, death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or any other liability that cannot be excluded under English law.
Governing law
These terms and conditions, and any dispute arising from your use of this website, are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any legal proceedings will be brought exclusively in the courts of England and Wales.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms from time to time. The date at the top of this page will always show when they were last updated. Continued use of the site after changes are posted means you accept the revised terms.
