Caring for children can be a demanding role. The opportunity to receive regular, high quality training is very important in supporting carers to undertake the tasks required in caring for children, some of whom may be exhibiting difficult and challenging behaviour. Workforce Development have a strong commitment to providing several training opportunities each year which build on the skills first discussed during your pre-approval training.
New dates coming soon!

Reflective Practice - Foundations for Attachment Reflection Group
The Reflective Practice - Foundations for Attachment Reflection Group provides a supportive environment where foster carers can come together to explore their experiences, share insights, and enhance their skills in fostering secure attachments with children in their care.
This session is ran by Trusting Hands. You can book your space on Learning Hub
You can attend as many sessions as you like, however you can only book one at a time on Learning Hub. If you wish to book onto multiple sessions, please email [email protected].
Training, Support and Development (TSD) Standards
All new foster carers are required to complete their Training, Support and Development (TSD) Standards for Foster Carers portfolio prior to their first review approximately 10 months.
These Standards are a national benchmark and give foster carers the recognition they deserve for the role they play. We know you will want to demonstrate your professionalism and achieve these standards and we believe in supporting you to achieve them. Where applicable, courses will indicate which TSD Standards are covered within the training.
There will be Foster Carer Induction Sessions running throughout the year to provide guidance on completing your work book. In addition, your Supervising Social Worker will be able to provide guidance and support whilst you are completing it. Please look at dates on the Learning Hub to book your place.
