Language of care

Online Course • The Foster Carer Training Company

About the CPD course

This course has been developed in partnership with TACT. There are so many formal terms used within foster care. Taking steps to use instead a language that makes the children in your care comfortable can go a long way. In 2019; TACT led a piece of research to identify common words used in the care system; find better alternatives to these and create a guidebook called Language that cares. This course will introduce you to the importance of using such a language and present activities to do with your foster child(ren) to develop your own glossary.
