Financial support

You'll receive regular payments through our 'payment for skills' graded structure, we pay additional fees for caring for two or more children and we pay the full amount you're required to pay for having a spare room in your home.

You will also receive an allowance for each child you care for which is age related which means it increases with the age of the child. We pay well above the National Minimum Allowance for children aged 16 and above.

We provide 'Ease' cards which gives you access to local facilities such as leisure and library centres at reduced rates.
