2. Understanding Attachment and Trauma

3. Healing Care Strategies

4. Risk and Safe Caring

5. Impact of fostering and Placement Considerations

Our Style

Although we cover a great deal of important and serious information, the style of the course is informal and relaxed. It's a time for you to learn new things but also to share your views and listen to other considering fostering too.
