Although no formal qualifications are needed, some experience in caring for children will prove extremely useful in successfully fostering a child.
We offer ‘Skills to Foster’ courses and post-approval training to ensure that both the child and foster parent are safe and happy in the placement.
Risk factors are assessed prior to placements, which allows us to put safeguarding measures in place to manage challenging behaviours.
Continued training and support from our therapy team is available to provide foster parents with the skills to face emotional or stressful situations with confidence, and better prepare for any eventual goodbyes.
