Foster carer essential service parking permit

If you're a foster carer caring for children under 15, you may be eligible for a foster carer essential service parking permit.  

You can use the permit to transport children to their appointments. If you live in a controlled parking zone, you still need a resident parking permit to park near your home.

If you're eligible, the cost of the permit is partially subsidised. Once you get your permit, contact your social care worker to be reimbursed.
