West Sussex Fostering Allowances
We recognise that looking after a child or young person has financial implications which is why as a foster carer you are paid a weekly fostering allowance which is made up of a professional fee for yourself and also a day to day living allowance for the child. There are a number of different factors which contribute to how much foster carers are paid per week. Compass average payments of £370 for every child per week living in your home. You can learn more about fostering allowance here.

We run regular training and support groups for foster carers in the South region. We have a wide ranging training plan, wiith courses on everything from “Issues of Attachment and Trauma” to “Paediatric First Aid”. Our training takes place at eight venues across the South so that you’ll never have too far to travel!
