Child and Family Haven

Support & Training

Fostering is a significant commitment, and we believe carers should never feel like they are facing it without support.

Our Approach

An Approach Built Around Carers

We believe foster carers should have access to practical guidance, relevant training and genuine opportunities for ongoing learning throughout their fostering journey.

Training needs can vary depending on the type of fostering undertaken and the needs of the children being cared for. Our approach is built around making sure carers feel equipped, informed and confident, rather than around a fixed, one-size-fits-all programme.
