HOW DO THE FOSTERING PAYMENTS WORK?
The foster parent weekly payments are made up of two parts:
- An allowance to cover the cost of caring for a child - such as for food, clothing, utilities, transport, pocket money, outings and activities
- A professional fee to reward foster carers for their hard work and commitment to caring for a vulnerable child
EXPERIENCED FOSTER PARENTS
If you’re joining Organic fostering as an experienced foster parent from another agency or local authority, you’ll start on a higher fostering allowance, so long as you have more than 12 months experience and have completed the core training.
