Petition Fostering and unemployed carers

More details

I am single claiming JSA. I am a foster carer looking after a foster child.
Neither of these systems recognise the other. I am being pulled in 2 direction. Find work over 30hours and be a carer.
I would like to see a bridge built that will incorporate unemployment allowance into fostering or the DWP recognise this valuable work.
