FosterWith

Fosterwith brings foster carers, social workers and fostering services together in one clear, secure app. From the day the child moves in, everything that actually costs money or creates risk will be visible and can be seen in one place. Built with UK local authorities and independent fostering agencies (IFAs), Fosterwith replaces spreadsheets, paper logs and endless phone calls with one shared view of every placement to promote Ofsted readiness. FOR FOSTER CARERS - See this week's allowance: your weekly figure, front and centre, the moment you open the app. - Submit expenses and receipts: photograph a receipt, add the details and send it straight to your social worker for approval. - Track approvals: see what has been approved, what is pending and why anything was rejected. - Placement notes: record day-to-day notes for each placement, from appointments and milestones to medication given, so nothing is forgotten. - Voice dictation: speak your notes instead of typing them. Ideal when you are busy or less confident with technology. - Message your social worker: chat securely in the app, with every conversation kept alongside the placement record. - Escalate concerns: raise an issue and track it until it is resolved. Urgent matters are escalated so they reach the right person quickly. - View your placements: type, start date and status for the children in your care. - Get notified: receive alerts for new messages, updated allowances and approved expenses. FOR SOCIAL WORKERS - Your caseload at a glance: every carer, child and placement you support, with pending items and escalations highlighted. - Approve or reject in one tap: clear carer expense claims quickly, with an optional note. - Message carers directly: secure in-app messaging replaces personal phones and scattered email threads. - Placement and case notes: see carers' placement notes and add your own, with voice dictation to save time on recording. - Manage escalations: see every open concern, respond, and track it through to resolution. - Stay on budget: see spend for your own cases. FOR FOSTERING SERVICES - Ofsted ready in one click: generate inspection ready reports instantly when Ofsted comes knocking, backed by a full audit trail of every note, message, approval and escalation. - Budget utilisation: see spend against budget across teams, carers and placements as it happens. - Spend forecasting: see where spend is heading before it becomes an overspend. - Spend threshold alerts: get alerted automatically when spend approaches or passes the limits you set. - Escalation oversight: see every open concern and who owns it, so nothing goes unanswered. - Your rates, your branding: configure allowance rates, approval thresholds and branding for your organisation. SECURE BY DESIGN - All data is stored in the UK. - Customer data is encrypted, and each organisation's data is kept completely separate. - Fosterwith holds Cyber Essentials certification. - Your fostering service owns and controls its data. Every pound tracked. Every child protected. Every decision defensible. Please note: Fosterwith is for carers and staff of fostering services that use the Fosterwith platform. You will need an invitation from your local authority or fostering agency to sign in.
