Financial Support
Foster carers receive a weekly allowance designed to cover the child’s day-to-day needs. Additional payments are provided to recognise the carer's dedication and time. The amount varies depending on the child’s age and specific requirements. If the child has a disability, the allowance is adjusted to reflect their additional needs. This ensures foster carers have the resources to provide the best possible care.

ESSENTIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR FOSTERING SUCCESS
To become a foster carer, you’ll need a dedicated spare room—other children cannot share it—and, if fostering with a partner, at least two years of living together. You’ll also need the time and commitment to provide a safe, nurturing environment for a child. Foster carers receive a tax-free allowance, which varies based on the number of children placed and their individual needs. As a self-employed foster carer, this financial support helps you focus on making a meaningful difference in a child’s life.
