Re: No Fostering.
How ridiculous! Whats more annoying is that if you foster for the council, you receive under 100 pounds a week allowance for the child, for exterbal agencies its upto 400 a week. If the council are unable to place any child under its own foster carers, they have to use the agencies and pay the additional costs.
The smoking thing is just increasing the need for external agencies and increasing council spend, which would surely mean less money in the budget and so cutbacks somewhere else
