Staying Put Carers, Supported Lodging Hosts & Settling in Schemes

Information and guidance for Staying Put Carers, Supported Lodgings Hosts and Settling in Schemes – using the provider portal.

Staying Put Carers: this arrangement allows young people in foster care to remain with their former foster carers after turning 18, typically until age 21, to support a transition to independence.

Supported Lodgings: a provision for young people aged 16+, whereby they live in the home of a ‘host’ family, individual or couple. Supported lodgings are a way to transition from foster care or a children’s home to living independently.

Settling in Scheme: short term floating support – assisting young people with tenancy sustainment, budgeting and daily living skills.

How do I access my Annual Carers Statement for tax purposes?

Click on the Reports icon within the portal. Select the Annual Statement Of Carer Payments report. Once you generate the report – click on the floppy disk (save) icon and this will generate a PDF version of this report.

I am a Foster Carer as well as a Staying Put carer, how do I view data and payments for both?

On various icons, there will be either a ‘Contract’ dropdown or ‘Service’ dropdown. You will need to make sure you select the relevant service type in those dropdowns, to view the applicable payments. As an example, if you see ‘CAO’ within the naming convention, that refers to Child Arrangement Order. (MFC = Mainstream Foster Carer, STP = Staying Put Carer, SPL = Supported Lodgings Host, SIS = Settling in Scheme).
