About this course

Foster carers have enough to do without worrying about income tax, pensions and benefits. But it is vital for foster carers to know exactly what their own financial responsibilities are and what their agency is responsible for. This training day will explore foster carers' financial rights and responsibilities.

This course will enable participants to:

  • clarify a foster carer’s responsibilities for paying income tax
  • explore the issues for foster carers who are also receiving benefits and explain the benefits that others may be able to claim
  • identify a foster carer’s rights and responsibilities in relation to the state pension
  • explore the options and related issues when young people aged 16+ remain in the foster home
  • signpost participants to information on other financial issues relevant to foster carers.

This course contributes to the underpinning knowledge requirements for:

  • NVQ Health and Social Care Level 3, Children and Young People units: HSC33 & HSC345
  • post Qualifying Award in Child Care unit E.
