2. Information, not personal advice
Website content is provided for general information about fostering and our service. It is not legal, financial, tax, medical or safeguarding advice. You should obtain appropriate professional advice for your circumstances.
Information on eligibility, allowances, assessment timescales and placement types does not amount to an offer, guarantee or contract. Approval and matching decisions require formal assessment and professional decision-making.
3. Access to the website
We aim to keep the website available and accurate but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. We may suspend, withdraw or change all or part of it for maintenance, security, legal or operational reasons.
You are responsible for ensuring that anyone who accesses the website through your internet connection understands these terms.
4. Acceptable use
You must not:
• use the website unlawfully or fraudulently;
• attempt to gain unauthorised access to the website, server or connected systems;
• introduce viruses, malware or other harmful material;
• interfere with the website's operation or security;
• scrape, copy or reuse content at scale without permission where permission is required;
• submit false, abusive, threatening or discriminatory material;
• include unnecessary personal or confidential information about a child in a general website form.
We may restrict access and report activity where reasonably necessary to protect people, data or systems.
5. Enquiries and applications
Submitting an enquiry form does not create a foster carer agreement, guarantee an assessment or mean that you have been approved. If you proceed, separate application, assessment, approval and agreement processes will apply.
You are responsible for providing accurate information. Deliberately withholding or misrepresenting material information may affect whether an enquiry or application can continue.
6. Allowance calculator
Any calculator result is illustrative. It is not an offer, guarantee of income, tax calculation or confirmation that a particular child or placement will be available. Current payment schedules and individual placement information take precedence.
7. Intellectual property
Unless otherwise stated, Organic Fostering Ltd owns or is licensed to use the website's text, design, graphics, branding, downloads and other content. You may view pages and print reasonable extracts for personal, non-commercial use.
You must not reproduce, adapt, publish, sell or commercially exploit website content without prior written permission, except where law allows it. Third-party names, images and trademarks remain the property of their respective owners.
8. Accuracy and changes
We take reasonable care when preparing content but fostering guidance, tax rules, payment schedules and external services can change. We may update the website without notice. Where accuracy matters to a decision, confirm the current position with our team or the relevant official source.
9. External links
Links to other websites are provided for convenience and context. We do not control third-party sites and are not responsible for their content, availability, privacy practices or security. A link does not necessarily mean we endorse the organisation or every view it publishes.
10. Our responsibility
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability where doing so would be unlawful, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.
Subject to that, we are not responsible for losses that were not reasonably foreseeable, or for business losses arising from personal use of this website. These terms do not affect statutory rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.
