Financial Support for Foster Carers
Supporting You to Provide the Best Care
Comprehensive Financial Support for Foster Carers
At AC-Fostering, we recognise the invaluable contribution foster carers make in providing safe and nurturing homes for children. To ensure you can focus on giving the best care possible, we offer a comprehensive financial support package tailored to meet the needs of both you and the children in your care.
Foster Care Allowance
Every foster carer receives a weekly allowance to cover the costs associated with caring for a child. This allowance is designed to cover food, clothing, household expenses, and recreational activities to provide a comfortable and enriching environment for the child.
Additional Support
In cases where children have special needs or require additional support, carers may receive higher allowances to accommodate the specific requirements of the child’s care.
Tax-Free Income
in cases children have special needs, Foster care payments are largely tax-free, meaning you can retain more of the financial support provided. Depending on your circumstances, additional tax relief may be available.
Development Payments
We value the ongoing growth and development of our foster carers. As part of our commitment, we provide financial support for foster carers who complete specialized training, ensuring you are well-equipped to manage the unique challenges of fostering.
24/7 Support & Resources
In addition to financial allowances, AC-Fostering provides 24/7 support, access to resources, and guidance from experienced professionals to ensure you have everything you need to care for foster children.
