When young people in foster care turn 18, the Foster Care Allowance ends. If they stay in education, the Aftercare Allowance is paid but this is €125/week less than the foster care allowance. If they are not in education, they receive no support at all.

This leaves many young people without the stability they need as they make the difficult transition to adulthood.

IFCA is calling for the Aftercare Allowance to be aligned with the Foster Care Allowance and continued until at least age 23, regardless of education status.

Because every young person leaving care deserves equal support as they build their future.
