Tender description
The Scottish Government, on behalf of the Scottish Ministers, wishes to commission a research project to collect data on the implementation of the Scottish Recommended Allowance for Foster and Kinship Carers (SRA).The aim of the work is to collect data on whether the implementation of the SRA has achieved its policy intent, by bringing consistency and transparency to the allowances paid to foster and kinship carers, and ensuring that all caregivers, no matter where they live, receive at least a set rate to cover the costs of the child they are looking after.The proposed research will provide a final report and accessible summary, the findings of which will be disseminated within Scottish Government as well as published externally. The findings will be used to feed into the overall evaluation of the SRA, understand the impact for foster and kinship families, inform adjustments to delivery and help with design and development of future policy action.
