Recommendation 34
34
Ensure kinship allowance pilot provides financial support equivalent to foster carers.
Conclusion
In its upcoming pilot of a kinship allowance, the Department for Education should ensure that the financial support is on a par with that given to foster carers. It must evaluate the pilot at the earliest opportunity and roll it out across the country once it has proven to be effective. (Recommendation, Paragraph 83)
