What if my foster child has a disability?

If a foster child has additional needs such as a disability, they will be placed with a specially trained, more experienced foster carer, as part of Foster Plus. Foster Plus carers undergo specialist training to gain the skills and knowledge to carry out therapeutic parenting. Foster Plus carers will receive higher financial support and cannot be working alongside being a foster carer.
