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.
