Fostering And Birth Children training

This course is written to assist foster carers and potential foster carers, in better understanding the impact of the whole process of fostering upon their birth children.

Given that looked after children will frequently present with very specific needs due to past trauma, it is easy for birth children to be inadvertently overlooked.

Some birth children may feel puzzled by the processes that looked after children go through, including what can appear to them as very different approaches in parenting styles.
