Government have announced long-term plans for children’s social care, which includes a £25 million investment for the retention and recruitment of foster carers.
This is much needed - we are losing vital foster carers who help 70% of children in the care system.

Members felt allowances were the key thing missing from the #CareReview.
Government have applied an above inflationary increase to the national minimum allowance following our #TheCostofFostering campaign, helping foster carers to continue doing their best for our young people.

The Fostering Network are delighted that our Mockingbird programme will feature as part of the package of retention support for foster carers.
We look forward to working with Government in the months ahead to ensure more foster families can benefit from the model.

Whilst we welcome this landmark investment in foster care, it falls short of the £2 billion investment called for by @JoshMacAlister in the #CareReview.
There are more issues that must be tackled if we are to fully reform children’s social care - we will not lose sight of this.
