Money and expenses

Woman and young man walking

All foster carers get financial support. You will get:

  • Allowances to help cover the cost of caring for a child or young person
  • Fees to recognise the time, skills and experience you contribute as a foster carer

You can also claim expenses for things like school trips and childcare.

You'll be responsible for helping the child or young person to manage their own money.
