Children Act 1989

if your that interested there's a statue you can look at good luck...its long...also there might be new rules now but you'll have to look into that as well

Answer 3

She is old enough to work so no she isn`t entitled to anything, really at 17 she should be paying her board

Answer 4

Are you saying you don't have clothes to wear..or you just want special clothes.

Answer 5

If she can work, she shouldn't get tax payers money.

Answer 6

It's hard but I never got nothing for nothing, she needs to find and work her way upwards in the world and earn.  Any good foster parent would continue to be supportive, and I would have saved so that she could have something each week.

Are these clothes essential ?? Surely £45 a week is luxury money?
