Ongoing training is essential, and you will be encouraged
to attend this regularly throughout your fostering career.
The initial preparation training is a good grounding for
foster carers but carers are encouraged to continue to
attend training. There are a number of training
opportunities throughout the year including.
Child Protection
Safer caring
Attachment
First aid
There will also be opportunities to attend other courses,
and also to discuss achieving NVQ qualification.
Support
We do not expect you to undertake the fostering task on you
own and the placements that work best are those that work
in partnership. You will have named fostering social worker
and will be invited to become part of a monthly support
group with other foster carers.
We have also developed a fostering support plan to address
issues before carers reach the point where they feel they
can't cope any more.
