Turn Dormant Enquiries into
Panel-Ready Foster Carers.
Council social workers are dedicated to active statutory casework and rarely have capacity to pursue historical web enquiries. Our turnkey 30-day reactivation sprint transforms dormant databases into 15–30 verified, spare-room-confirmed households ready for Form F Initial Home Visits—saving £70k–£140k/year with zero public tender delays.

From messy CSV export to verified Initial Home Visits in 30 days. Zero manual outreach labour required from your social work team.

Reactivated applicants complete spare room verification and co-branded TSDS Module 1 (“Trauma-Informed Care”). Dynamic readiness scores (0–100) are assigned in real-time.
Stage 1 IHV Handoff
FosterReady delivers 15–30 verified candidate dossiers to your social workers. One click exports pre-filled interview packs for Initial Home Visits and fast-tracked Form F starts.
The FosterReady 10-Lead Civic Guarantee
We guarantee that your 30-Day Reactivation Sprint will deliver a minimum of 10 pre-screened, HIGH_INTENT candidate households (verified spare room, passed statutory eligibility, completed TSDS Module 1) ready for an Initial Home Visit.
The Zero-IFA Leakage Guarantee.
We know the #1 fear of council fostering teams: “Will you sell our council resident leads to commercial IFAs?”
Statutory UK GDPR Lawful Basis
The Financial Maths of In-House Reactivation.
A single child placed in an independent fostering agency (IFA) costs your authority £50,000–£75,000 per year. Placing that same child with an in-house carer costs ~£25,000 per year.
Reactivating just ONE in-house foster carer recovers your entire £9,500 sprint investment in under 3 months.

Council Procurement & Compliance FAQ
Why does this fall below the public tender threshold?
Under statutory UK public procurement regulations, local authorities enforce single-quote micro-procurement limits typically set between £10,000 and £25,000. At £9,500, a Fostering Team Manager or Service Head has delegated authority to authorise a direct Purchase Order without a 6-month competitive tender.
Will our council resident data ever be visible to commercial IFAs?
Absolutely not. All uploaded candidate data is stored in an encrypted database partition strictly tied to your authority ID (laId). The B2C marketplace search queries exclusively public organic profiles and is physically blocked from querying council database records. Our signed Data Processing Agreement includes a legally binding anti-brokerage covenant with financial penalties.
What is the lawful basis under UK GDPR for contacting dormant enquirers?
Processing is grounded in UK GDPR Article 6(1)(e) (Public Task in fulfilling Section 22G Fostering Sufficiency Duties) and Article 6(1)(f) (Legitimate Interests). Electronic messaging adheres to PECR Regulation 22(3) (soft opt-in for prior enquirers) with mandatory 1-click unsubscribe links and “Reply STOP” suppression.
How does the 10-lead minimum performance guarantee work?
Provided your list contains at least 1,000 unique records aged under 36 months with valid mobile numbers and emails, we guarantee delivering a minimum of 10 pre-screened, 75%+ readiness candidate households by Day 30. If fewer than 10 are delivered, our engine automatically runs an alternative creative sequence at zero extra charge or provides a 100% credit.
Can separate teams in our council buy their own £9,500 sprints?
Yes. Separate service areas (e.g. Mainstream Fostering, Kinship / Connected Persons, Supported Lodgings / Post-16) or different seasonal cycles (Spring vs Autumn) have distinct budget codes and operational scopes, allowing each to be purchased independently.
What happens at the end of the 90-day pipeline window?
At Day 75–90, an automated Yield Report is presented to your Service Head. Your team can either re-book another seasonal £9,500 sprint for fresh enquiries or upgrade to an Annual Sovereign Licence via G-Cloud to run continuous recruitment all year round.
