We received our certificate of membership today for the NAFP (Nationwide Association of Fostering Providers).
NAFP was formed in 2008 by a group of fostering providers who had worked together in the West Midlands for a number of years. The group comprised of independent and voluntary fostering providers and charities, including large national organisations, medium sized providers and small local agencies.
It was agreed that a trade association would be able to represent the group more effectively, as it could act as the voice of the group and have weight as representing the sector. It was also acknowledged that this body would allow for experience and knowledge to be shared within the sector, and for formal representation of the sector in national forums and developments.
NAFP is a not-for-profit organisation and a company limited by guarantee.
We are attending the AGM/Annual seminar today – we’ll have some feedback and information for you soon!
