Foster children may have led unpredictable, insecure and unsettled lives. At ISP, we ensure our foster carers offer children and young people the security and stability they need to build themselves a stronger, happier, more secure future.
To help provide for the clothes, food, outings and treats a child needs, and to put carers in a position where they are able to stay at home and devote their full attention to their child, a fostering allowance is provided. At ISP, we offer very competitive allowances to help you do the best for the child and reward you for your hard work. Our rates are very competitive and can vary from placement to placement.
Specialist placements Some children have specialist needs – perhaps because they have a disability, or they have come to the UK seeking asylum and have little or no English skills. At ISP, we will provide you with the full specialist training to ensure you are able to care for these specialist needs.
Respite care All foster parents are entitled to 22 days respite leave a year. Similarly for parents of children with disabilities, regular breaks can often be a lifesaver. Respite care fostering provides these vital breathers for the carers.
