Foster carers at Nottinghamshire County Council are set to benefit from an increase to fostering allowances.
Nottinghamshire County Council has announced that it is increasing its basic foster care allowances as part of an ongoing drive to retain its current carers and attract more people to foster care.
All foster carers receive a weekly allowance to help cover the costs of providing care for a child, with the level of payment they get dependent on the age of the child or young person and the complexity of the care needs as well as the foster carers’ years of service.
