As a foster carer, you will receive a weekly allowance for any child or young person that is placed in your care. Additionally, you will be entitled to other supplementary allowances:
These allowances are provided to the foster carer to purchase gifts for the child to celebrate their birthday and religious festivals.
£100 one off payment at the discretion of the Agency (Not Applicable to Emergency/Respite Placements).
This is a one-off payment for children arriving at the placement without personal belongings or clothing.
The holiday allowances are provided to the carer, in order that the carer can provide an annual holiday. Evidence of expenditure will be required and will be paid at the discretion of the Agency. Holiday allowances will be paid on one occasion during a 12-month period.
Items included:
This should be approximately £20 per week for expenditure to include school uniform, shoes, trainers, and clothing for outside of school. Should the child wish, this money can be saved for branded trainers or clothing. Receipts need to be obtained and retained by the carer.
