Tender description
Sheffield City Council (SCC) is implementing an incentive based referral programme to support the recruitment of Shared Lives Carers through Independent Fostering Agencies (IFAs).

These aims align with SCC’s strategic priority of promoting independence, community connection, and cost-effective adult social care.
