Enhanced Placements
When you need us to go that bit further
Some children and young people in foster care need additional support over and beyond the high-quality care that comes with a standard placement, sometimes just to get through a particularly difficult period of time.
For these children, FFI offers enhanced placements. In addition to the benefits of our standard placement, an enhanced placement comes with:
- Increased carer allowance (subject to agreement with Tusla)
- More link social work support visits and contact
- Additional educational support, including tuition and in-home education options if needed
- Comprehensive therapeutic support
- Up to two hours of child care support per week
- Meetings with all of the professionals on the Key Care Team
- Extra respite nights if needed
