Lots (6)

  • Standard

    A placement for a child or young person whose needs can be met through mainstream fostering support. The child may have experienced trauma, neglect, abuse, or family breakdown, but does not require specialist therapeutic interventions or enhanced levels of care beyond those ordinarily provided within a fostering placement.

    £29,000,000
  • Therapeutic

    A placement for a child or young person with significant emotional, behavioural, or mental health needs that require a therapeutic approach to care. Foster carers will typically receive specialist training, regular therapeutic support, and access to clinical professionals to help meet the child's identified needs and promote stability and recovery.

    £29,000,000
  • Parent and Child

    A placement that accommodates a parent and their child together, where assessment, support, and monitoring are required to evaluate and develop the parent's ability to safely care for their child. Foster carers provide guidance, supervision, and practical support while contributing to formal assessments where required.

    £29,000,000
  • Siblings (including any discounts)

    A placement that accommodates two or more siblings together to maintain family relationships and support continuity of care. Foster carers are expected to meet the needs of multiple children within the same household and support positive sibling relationships whilst addressing individual needs.

    £29,000,000
  • Disability / Complex Health

    A placement for a child or young person with a physical disability, learning disability, developmental condition, chronic illness, or complex health need requiring specialist care, supervision, equipment, medical support, or additional training. Foster carers are expected to work closely with health professionals and other agencies to meet the child's assessed needs.

    £29,000,000
  • Enhanced Respite/ Short Term

    Placements within this Lot are for children and young people who require a standalone respite service, commissioned to meet an identified assessed need that cannot reasonably be met through the routine respite arrangements expected within a standard fostering placement.

    £29,000,000
