Access to learning and development opportunities is crucial for Foster Carers throughout their career.
It helps them acquire new skills, stay up-to-date with the latest knowledge, and develop personally. It also provides a platform for peer support and networking, fostering a sense of community among foster carers.
Continuous learning enables Foster Carers to enhance their practice and positively impact the lives of their foster children.
