Staying Put arrangements play a vital role in supporting some of the most vulnerable young people in society, allowing them to enjoy continuity in their care arrangements, and adopt a more gradual transition to adulthood and independence. It is therefore right that foster carers receive the support that they need, including financial support, to help them meet the needs of those that they care for. In Staying Put arrangements, the amount paid to foster carers is determined locally, by the carer\u2019s local authority or fostering agency.<\/p>

The department is committed to ensuring all parents who are eligible for the 30 hours free childcare entitlement are able to take up a place that suits their childcare needs. We have already provided significant support to local authorities and providers through our delivery contractor, \u2018Childcare Works\u2019, providing tailored support to help progress implementation plans.<\/p>

In November 17, we also launched the \u2018Delivery Support Fund\u2019 to support local authorities, and enable them to support their providers,<\/p>
