Remuneration
All of our foster carers receive payment for their work, but the amount varies according to the type of fostering.

Short Term Fostering
We have a small number of short-term foster carers. Placements may last from a few days or weeks to several years and usually involve preparing a child for a permanent family, or, if the young person is older, helping him or her to prepare to move on to living independently.

Respite Carers
Looking after a child ‘forever‘ is demanding. Respite carers help by caring for the child when carers need a break.

Support
In recognition of the demands of the work, regular social work visits are made, access to 24-hour help is available and monthly training and support days are arranged.
