Planned spend (gross) on Fostering (3424) Metric type
- Help text
- Unit costs Include all in-house provision, fostering services purchased externally, fees and allowances paid to foster parents and the costs of social worker and other support staff who support foster carers. This covers:
- mainstay placements
- link placements
- permanence placements
- temporary /respite fostering
- associated independent visitor costs and relevant contact payments under sections 20/34 of the Children Act 1989.
Gross figures are actual total estimated costs of the activities before allowance for any expected income, but after allowing for any “buyback” income from the authority’s own schools to avoid double counting. Both expenditure and income should be excluded where LA maintained schools are buying services.
