Help Is Always on Hand
You do not need to be a money expert to foster. At Match Foster Care, there are plenty of people and resources to help you understand your pay and allowances.
A good place to start is our finance calculator, which gives you an idea of what you could receive for different types of fostering. Our team can then give you a personal breakdown and answer any questions, with no obligation.
Once you are fostering, your supervising social worker is your first point of contact. With low caseloads, they have time to talk through your allowance, help you plan how to use it in the child's best interests and explain extra payments for special occasions. Our office team can also help with any questions about payments.
For tax and benefits, we can point you to trusted independent guidance on the special tax arrangements for foster carers. Our training programme and foster carer support groups are also a great way to pick up tips from experienced carers. Find out more on our Transparent Payments page, try our finance calculator, or get in touch with our team.
