Can I see my family and friends?

You can talk to your social worker about the best way to keep in touch with family and friends. Your views will be taken into account and your Social Worker will want to make sure that you are happy and safe.

Can I bring my things from home?

Yes, you will be able to bring your things from home and you will need to talk to your social worker to sort this out.

What about clothes and pocket money?

While you are looked after you will get pocket money and your foster carer will talk to you about this. Your foster carer will be given money to pay for school trips and activities and to buy you the things that you need - like new clothes, shoes and toys.
