What will that cost Council Tax Payers?
What a waste of our money.
As a comparison, my wife Joan was a Carer in a large Newcastle Childrens Home that cared for 12 children 24/7 with 8 staff.
After a few years there she decided to leave and set the ball rolling to Foster one of the Gateshead children.The child was a 12 year old boy with learning difficulties that had been in 13 different foster placements.
Because we were now officially Gateshead Foster Carers we were soon asked to take other children.
Over the years we've sometimes had 4 Foster children which is twice as many as this proposed Childrens Home that needs 10 Carers to man it.
Lots of other Foster Carers have more than 2 Foster Children so why are our Council wasting public money?
PS We kept that first child for 9 years.
