It’s Easter, and as with any holiday time, the risk of allegations when children are with carers constantly increases.
Only members of The National Union of Professional Foster Carers can access help and advice, even during holidays and weekends.
Only members can get this help, so join today at www.nupfc.com/join

In the members’ area of the National Union of Professional Foster Carers website, there are discounted holidays and days out, as well as discounts on important things like tyres and shopping.
If members use even only one of these during the course of a month, it can save them more money than their membership fee.
Join today at www.nupfc.com/join and take a look

Did you know that the fees you pay to be a member of the National Union of Professional Foster Carers trade union are tax-deductible, so unlike other organisations, joining the union is “free”!
You simply claim back your union fees when you do your tax return in January.

There is a two-month cooling-off period after you join the National Union of Professional Foster Carers as a member, after which any new matters arising are covered only by the monthly fee of £10.
We can take on new members with existing problems, but to protect existing members’ money, we have to charge a fee towards the work involved.
This week, unfortunately, we have had to turn away three foster carers with serious historic problems because they were not members and could not afford to pay the fee for help.
This will probably mean that these carers will be de-registered and their names will appear on the Disclosure and Barring Register, which means they will not be able to work with Children again.
Don’t find yourself in this position, and make sure you join today at www.nupfc.com/join
From only 32p per day, you would be silly not to.
