Being a fostering family (birth children over 10)

Online Course • The Foster Carer Training Company

About the CPD course

This course is designed for birth children (10y+) in fostering families. It is important for them to have an understanding of what foster care is: their parents' roles as foster carers: and how fostering will bring changes into their homes and lives. This course is written so that it can be read by the birth children themselves: but it may be best to go through the course together: to discuss the material and do the activities. There are several discussion questions throughout the course.
