Fostering placements
Dear Calderdale Metropolitan Borough Council,
1. How many children were placed into mainstream foster care by the LA over the past 12 months (or the most recent 12-month period that you're able to process)?
2. Of those, please confirm how many were placed with foster carers of independent fostering agencies.
3. What is the minimum, maximum and average agency fee you have given to IFAs for children placed?
4. Of all children placed in the 12-month period, please break down the numbers by ethnicity (categories you record)
5. And also by religion
Yours faithfully,
Tay Jiva MBE

Dear Helen Ambler,
I would like figures for 'unique' numbers
i.e. New entrants and existing children
(Excluding children who left and return to foster care, or those who are moving from one placement to another)
Yours sincerely,
Tay Jiva MBE

Thanks for asking these questions. It would be useful if you could use your expertise in Social Work to ask some further pertinent questions of CMBC's social care department because a little birdy informs us that they are close to collapse due to staffing and workload pressures, but Julie Jenkins is trying to keep a lid on it.
The lives of vulnerable people are being placed at risk by this, so it would be helpful if you could use your knowledge to ask the right questions and expose this issue.
