The questions everyone asks

How much are foster carers actually paid?

Around £675 a week per child on average with evolve, much of it tax free. The exact figure depends on the child's needs and your skills, and you'll get yours in writing on the intro call.

I rent my home. Does that matter?

Not at all. A settled home with a spare bedroom is what matters, owned or rented.

What if I have a criminal record?

It depends what and when. Many past offences don't rule you out. Be upfront on the call and we'll give you a straight answer in minutes.
