Inflationary Uplift for Bristol City Council foster carers, special guardians, adopters and supported lodgings hosts

Bristol’s aim is to value its carers and to recruit and retain local carers for children who need our care. Providing an inflationary uplift on an annual basis will enable carers to meet the needs of children. This is recognised as an essential part of the high value package provided by Bristol City Council.
There are on average 1079 placements funded across in-house fostering, SGO and Adoption at a cost of £11.7m. The cost of uplift at 2% to all placement allowances on this basis will cost £234k and will take account of cost of living increases.
