It may be for a few days or even for their entire childhood. But as a foster carer, what help is there if your finances don’t cover the bills and the extras needed?
Paul Lewis and a panel of experts will be taking your calls and hearing your experiences of fostering.
Guests: Jackie Sanders, Fostering Network
