Dear Newcastle upon Tyne City Council,

Please can you provide me with information regarding the number of Looked After Children you have placed with Foster Carers and how many with IFA's between the 2nd November 2016 - 2nd November 2017.

Also please advise of the weekly costs related to these i.e. how much you pay weekly for each placement with your own Foster Carers and also the weekly payment for each placement within IFA's.

Additionally, if you could also advise which Independent Fostering Provider's you use to place Looked After Children and provide information in regards to how many Looked After Children you have placed with each IFA specifically (e.g Foster Care Associates - 12 placements) between the 2nd November 2016 - 2nd November 2017.
