	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/01/2018 answer text <p>The government issued statutory guidance in 2011 for local authorities about supporting family and friends providing care for children who cannot live with their parents. The guidance makes it clear that children and young people should receive the support that they and their carers need to safeguard and promote their welfare. It explains that support, including financial support, can be provided under section 17 of the Children Act 1989. There is no limit on the level of support, including financial support, that local authorities can provide. The guidance does not specifically address the issue of supporting more than one child or where the family have their own children. However, these factors will be taken into account in the assessment of need of the family. The local authority should have in place clear eligibility criteria in relation to the provision of support services including financial support.</p> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 08/01/2018 15:19:58 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill
