Welcome to Think Fostering. These terms of use govern your access to and use of the Think Fostering website at thinkfostering.co.uk, operated by Think Fostering Ltd ("we", "us", "our"). By accessing or using our website, you agree to be bound by these terms. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, you should not use our website.
Think Fostering is an information and comparison platform that helps prospective foster carers find and compare Ofsted-registered fostering agencies across the UK. We provide educational content about fostering, agency listings, and tools to connect users with fostering agencies in their area.
We are not a fostering agency. We do not assess, approve, or place foster carers. We act as a directory and information resource only. Any fostering arrangement is made directly between you and the relevant fostering agency, and is subject to that agency's own terms, policies, and regulatory requirements.
You may use our website for lawful purposes only. You agree not to use the website in any way that breaches any applicable local, national, or international law or regulation; is fraudulent or has any fraudulent purpose or effect; harms or attempts to harm minors in any way; or interferes with or disrupts the website or servers connected to the website.
You must not attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the website, the server on which our website is stored, or any server, computer, or database connected to our website. You must not attack our website via a denial-of-service attack or a distributed denial-of-service attack.
We make reasonable efforts to ensure that the information on our website is accurate and up to date. However, we do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of any information provided, including agency listings, allowance figures, Ofsted ratings, and general fostering information.
Fostering agency details, allowances, and ratings may change without notice. You should always verify important information directly with the relevant fostering agency or official body such as Ofsted before making any decisions based on content found on our website.

Our website contains links to external websites, including those of fostering agencies. These links are provided for your convenience and information only. We do not endorse, control, or accept responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party websites.
While we verify that listed agencies are Ofsted-registered at the time of listing, we do not guarantee the ongoing quality, suitability, or conduct of any listed agency. Your decision to engage with any fostering agency is made entirely at your own discretion and risk.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Think Fostering Ltd shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or revenues, whether incurred directly or indirectly, or any loss of data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses resulting from your use of or inability to use the website.

When you submit an enquiry through our website, your information may be shared with the relevant fostering agency or agencies as described in our Privacy Policy. You are responsible for ensuring that the information you provide is accurate and that you have the right to share it. By submitting an enquiry, you consent to your data being processed in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
We reserve the right to amend these terms at any time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. Your continued use of the website after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the new terms. We recommend that you check this page periodically for updates.
