I am looking at it here as well. I am doing the same thing. Perhaps this is something on which we as a committee could seek clarification. It might be a mechanism. I presume that quite a lot of foster parents would have some contribution record before they start in this particular role. They could be made aware of the possibility of making voluntary contributions. It may overcome that, and particularly from this point forward. It would minimise the issue and the liability into the future.
