Adoption and fostering agencies from across the UK subscribe to New Family Social’s services. This is because they recognise the value in working to develop their practice when assessing and supporting LGBTQ+ applicants, adopters and foster carers.

A subscription to New Family Social unlocks access to both the charity’s services for LGBTQ+ adopters, foster carers and special guardians and the charity’s professional work stream.

Subscribing agencies can approve their LGBTQ+ applicants, adopters, foster carers for free access to our Gold memberships. Once they are a Gold member they can freely use our WhatsApp groups, attend in-person and online events, seek support from our peer mentoring services and more. Read further details about our Gold memberships.

Staff working at subscribing agencies can also apply to freely access our Orange memberships. Orange members can access our yearly 40 week CPD programme of online briefings covering topics relevant to LGBTQ+ adoption, promote recruitment sessions on our online calendar, participate in our LGBTQ+ Adoption & Fostering Week campaign and more. Read further details about our Orange memberships.

Agencies that subscribe to our services can also secure our in-person and online training for a discount. Read more about our training.

For more information on how your agency can subscribe to our services please call us on 020 3880 2683 or enquire online. Subscription costs are calculated by agency size, number of constituent local authorities an agency may represent, etc.

If you're a professional working for an agency that doesn't subscribe to New Family Social's services you can apply for a free Professional Contact membership.
