We gave up fostering some 4yrs ago.
Out of the blue we have received an invoice from Social Services for savings for a child who left us 4yrs ago. The invoice says "5% of the foster allowance". This is for the period we had the child with us.
We gave the child weekly pocket money and we were very generous with extra cash for going out and special events.
We saved for the child into a bank account and the SW has the paperwork along with all paperwork for the placement. The savings are only a fraction of what Social Services have put in their invoice.
This seems such an aggressive act. I no longer know any of the Social Workers (the ones I knew have moved on). I no longer have any paperwork as this was all taken when the child left us. Where can I go for help?
