I know that most family and friends carers are bringing up children outside the care system, but I thought that those of you who are fostering the child/ren you are raising might be interested in this new benefits guide for care leavers.
The Catch22 NCAS guide for care leavers: Know Your Rights, Know Your Benefits, is now updated for 2014 and available online here: http://bit.ly/1mQU9H0
It contains up-to-date information for care leavers on their entitlements.
Topics include:
• Types of benefit
• Looking for work
• How to make a claim
• Benefit sanctions
• Advice for parents
• Advice if you are ill or disabled
You can contact Catch22 NCAS directly if you’d like to purchase some hard copies, by emailing ncas@catch-22.org.uk (priced at 1.50 per copy, minimum order 10 copies).
