People who have a disability can apply to become a foster carer and, if they’re approved, we provide a high level of support to help them in their role. During your application to become a foster carer, we’ll ask about your disability and how it affects you, so we can be sure everyone’s needs can be met – yours and the foster child’s. Once approved, if you claim a disability allowance, it won’t be affected by the fostering allowance (foster carer pay). Discover more about fostering with a disability.
