Training Opportunities
In April the fostering team are going to be delivering some preparation training to the birth children of people who are being assessed to the foster carers. This is something we haven’t offered before and we hope it will be useful in explaining what fostering is about and looking at any concerns young people may have.
We would like it if some young people who are fostered would come along to this training and meet the young people and maybe share their views of what it is like living in a foster family. If you would be interested in taking part please e-mail Camilla or Maxine. You will be rewarded for your time.
