high quality care
asphaleia fostering is a small independent agency based in Worthing, rated OUTSTANDING by Ofsted in May 2025. We provide safe and nurturing foster care placements in West Sussex and neighbouring counties.
part of the asphaleia organisation
We are a unique agency in that we are part of a wider organisation providing services for children and young people and so have a wide breadth of knowledge and skills across our staff team and foster carers.
small and supportive team
We are a small, friendly, and immensely experienced team. We collaboratively work to ensure children are cared for in a safe and supportive manner. We are also passionate about seeing our foster carers thrive and offer comprehensive support, careful matching, and personal development plans.
fostering placements
Foster care provides a child with support and a stable place to live when they are not able to live with their birth parents or other family members. Foster carers are compensated for looking after children on behalf of the local authority and can choose to specialise in different types of placements, including:
-
Emergency
-
Short-term or bridging
-
Long-term
-
Parent & Child
-
Siblings
As an organisation, asphaleia has specialist experience working with and placing UASC (Unaccompanied Asylum Seeking Children).
