Council tax grant
We offer an additional incentive allowance to encourage more people to become foster carers.
As well as a competitive payment we also provide council tax payment for all of our mainstream foster carers irrespective of the council they reside in. These carers get council tax reimbursed for the time a child or young person is in placement with them.
