INFORMATION DISCLOSURE 
 
 
 
Dear Ms Elliott,  
 
 
 
Re: Freedom of Information request INF 1908051 
 
 
Thank you for your request for information, received by North Lincolnshire Council 16th August 2019, 
requesting information about foster care allowances, as shown;   
 
Please could you tell me your 2019-20 weekly foster care allowances for all age bands, NOT 
including any fee/reward element for foster carers? 
 
Please could you tell me your 2019-20 weekly allowances to former foster carers looking after young 
people in 18+ Staying Put arrangements, broken down by year 1, year 2, and year 3+ if necessary? 
 
I can confirm that the council holds the requested information and that it is already publicly available 
on the council’s website at: https://www.northlincs.gov.uk/people-health-and-care/fostering-in-north-
lincolnshire/#1528192531348-88325532-3199d4f8-653c 
 
Please go to the “Related Documents” and select the “Fostering Statement of Purpose 2018-19”, 
please see page 22 for the requested information. 
 
The Freedom of Information Exemption under Section 21 allows us to advise that information is 
available elsewhere where this is the case.  Please note that in some cases there may be a charge 
for accessing information, even if it is already publically available and that any charges for information 
published by the council will be advertised. 
 
If you do not have access to a computer or the internet please let me know or you can visit one of the 
council’s Local Link offices, who will be able to assist you with access to the information you require. 
 
If you wish to re-use this information for reasons other than, for example personal use, please see the 
council’s Access to Information Policy for full details of how to request permission to re-use 
information released in response to a Freedom of Information request. 
 
If you are unhappy about how we have dealt with your request please let me know and I will refer the 
matter to the council’s Information Complaints Policy.  Alternatively you can complain using the 
council’s online complaint form on the Contact Us page of the North Lincolnshire Council website. 
 
You also have the right to appeal directly to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), although 
please note the ICO usually expect the council to have investigated your concerns first. 
 
Yours sincerely
