Fostering is an extremely rewarding role, whereby carers look after a child / young person for an agreed period of time working alongside a fostering agency and/or the local authority.
Fostering is encouraged in Islam and there is great importance placed on looking after vulnerable children and those who are orphaned.
That exact amount of financial support will be based according to the policies in place at different local authorities and fostering agencies. Once you are officially approved as a foster carer you have to register as a self-employed individual with the HMRC and file your annual tax returns.
Our support extends to further answering any questions you may have whilst trying to put your mind at ease. We intermediate between local authorities, independent foster agencies and prospective foster carers and in doing so carry out referrals. We also follow up and check the progress of applicants and follow through with feedback.
