Preparation Training for Parent and Child Foster Carers

Trainer - Tracy Bowen

Fostering Services are under increasing pressure to provide parent and child fostering placements in order to provide the best possible chance to keep families together and avoid children, particularly babies from coming into care. They occur where parents have additional support needs that cannot be met in the community and where there may be significant concern about a parents ability to safely care for their child. Parent and Child placements can be hugely rewarding for foster carers particularly where carers support families to remain together in the community. However these arrangements can be complex and challenging and foster carers require additional training over and above that provided to mainstream foster cares to meet the specific demands of these placements. This 2-day training course will provide foster carers and fostering service professionals with a comprehensive introduction to the role of the parent and child foster carer, the tasks involved, and the skills and knowledge required to support this role.

Audience

Foster carers and foster carers who are currently approved as parent and child carers, are new to the role or interested in exploring this option.

Feedback

“Very knowledgeable trainer. Good interaction with other training participants”.
