Achieve Economic Well Being

• Children helped to contribute to reviews.
• Encouraged to develop and importance of education is emphasised- Foster carers support the children in placement by going into school.
• An example from one of our regions: ALL children placed with Fostering Solutions by Manchester Social Services have PEP plans in place and are working towards better educational outcomes.
• The children and young person’s guidebooks encourage pocket money to be saved. Foster Carers enable their placements to reach independence by helping them, where appropriate, to open bank accounts.
