:04:21. > :04:25.a child shouldn't be taken lightly. But for Christine it has bedn part
:04:26. > :04:29.of her life for the last 15 years. In that time she's looked after more
:04:30. > :04:33.than 150 children for anythhng At the moment she's caring for three
:04:34. > :04:41.` two sisters and their brother It can be heartbreaking
:04:42. > :04:46.when they leave, but when they come they are not staying, so yot have to
:04:47. > :04:50.build yourself against that. But yes, it is very rewarding,
:04:51. > :04:54.watching them be happy, plaxing Because they are treated as part
:04:55. > :04:59.of our family and while thex are But in Buckinghamshire therd's
:05:00. > :05:06.a shortage of people, like Christine, prepared to look after
:05:07. > :05:10.children from the same family. It means many siblings kept
:05:11. > :05:13.together have to be found a In all,
:05:14. > :05:17.there are only 53 foster carers willing to look after children from
:05:18. > :05:21.the same family in Buckingh`mshire. It means around a third of `ll
:05:22. > :05:28.siblings are being separated. One concern is that the mondy paid
:05:29. > :05:31.to foster carers by the council for It's something those
:05:32. > :05:40.in charge say is under revidw. Allowances possibly haven't kept
:05:41. > :05:42.up with inflation in recent years. So what we are working on at the
:05:43. > :05:50.moment is a new and improved package of allowances for all of our foster
:05:51. > :05:55.carers to make sure that we can attract foster carers and that they
:05:56. > :06:05.are properly rewarded for doing it. The problem isn't one which only
:06:06. > :06:07.affects Buckinghamshire, but it is Tom, you touched on it
:06:08. > :06:16.in your report, but part of the problem causing the shortage in
:06:17. > :06:19.foster carers seems to be ftnding. One explanation why there's
:06:20. > :06:21.a shortage of carers coming forward is because
:06:22. > :06:29.people aren't paid enough to do it. Most people do it out of love for
:06:30. > :06:35.the children. But if the money doesn't cover
:06:36. > :06:38.the basic costs of looking `fter So for example, Buckinghamshire
:06:39. > :06:42.County Council pay foster c`rers just under ?170 per week if that
:06:43. > :06:45.person looks after a child `ged 4 or younger, but some argue with all the
:06:46. > :06:50.costs of nappies, food and heating a house during the day
:06:51. > :06:59.the money isn't enough. Ironically, if the council doesn't find a foster
:07:00. > :07:02.carer themselves, then they may end up paying an agency sometimds
:07:03. > :07:05.double that weekly amount. Police in Buckinghamshire are trying
