Staying put

Other considerations

  • If you are not working you will need to claim benefits. This will include housing benefit that you will pay directly to your carer
  • You will be responsible for buying everything for yourself. You must pay for your own travel and any social activities
  • If your carer continues fostering or begins fostering younger children, you will have to have a DBS criminal records check. If you have committed serious offences you might not be able to stay. This is something that will be discussed in your earliest reviews
  • If your carer does continue to foster, there may be some extra rules that need to be added to your living agreement
  • You will be expected to show that you are learning and using the skills you need when you do move out. For example, budgeting, DIY, cleaning and cooking
