Financial implications

The payment of fostering fees will continue if a child is withdrawn from the placement due to an allegation made against a foster carer for a period of three months or until the matter is resolved, or a decision is made to terminate a carer’s registration, whichever happens first. No weekly child allowances will be payable for any children that have moved from the fostering household. However, monies will continue to be paid for other foster children remaining in the household where applicable.
