**Remuneration**:

- You do not get a salary as a foster care but a weekly allowance is paid when you have a child or young person living with you. This is to cover the costs of caring for a child e.g. food, clothing, pocket money etc.
- Starting allowance range - £393 to £658 per week
- Additional grants and allowances e.g. festival allowance and child summer holiday grant
