Fostering allowance London

We recognise that looking after a child or young person has financial implications which is why as a Compass foster carer you are paid a weekly fostering allowance. This is made up of a professional cost of caring fee for yourself and also a day to day living allowance for the child or young person.

There are a number of different factors which contribute to how much foster carers are paid per week, such as the type of placement you take or how many children you are able to care for. Compass average payments of £370 for every child per week living in your home. You can learn more about London fostering payments here.

There are also ways to earn additional payments with Compass, such as by becoming an ambassador or writing blogs to go on our website.
