Foster Carer Allowances and the number of children in care

The request was successful.

Dear Kent County Council,

Please can you tell me the figures for...

How many children have entered foster care each year for the past five years?

How many Foster Carers have been actively working for each year for the past five years?

How many new Foster Carers has there been each year for the past five years?

The average foster carer allowance for the last five years for each age group.

The average foster carer allowance for someone new into fostering?

Figures showing how foster carer pay has increased over the last five years.

Is there a need for more Foster Carers?

Has there been a rise in the amount that new Foster Carers are being paid so that more people want to do it?

Yours faithfully,

Megan Payton
