2) Please also include weekly allowances to former foster carers looking after young people aged 18+ in Continuing Care / When I am Ready 18+ placements, broken down by year 1, year 2, and year 3 if necessary.

3) Please detail your current fee structure for foster carers, including details of the levels/bands of carers and how much you pay per week at each level/band. Please also provide the number of foster carers on each level.

Thank you.

Yours faithfully,

Robert Cann

Dear Angharad

Thank you for this response, which states that 57 foster carers receive a fee. Please could you clarify how many foster carers currently do *not* receive a fee?
Thank you.
