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 foster carers irrespective of the council they reside in.
All carers get council tax reimbursed for the time a child or young person is in placement with them.
