Fostering Fees for a Second or Subsequent Child in Placement
Consideration of changes to the current fee paid to in house foster carers and proposal that the fee for the second or subsequent child in placement is more aligned to the fee paid for the first child, the fees are currently different. This investment in supporting and incentivising our carers to increase their capacity could reduce the need for costly, out of county, independent fostering agencies.
