Benefits

Benefits can be very confusing and people can be very concerned about the implications of not claiming the right benefits. However many foster carers rely on benefits at one time or another to ensure that they can financially afford to continue to foster.

If you need information on benefits, you can contact our advicelines across the UK.

Members of the Fostering Network can also log in here for more information and resources on benefits, and access to peer to peer support in our online community.
