Foster carer training proves a big help for our carers

August 16, 2010

A total number of 48 foster carer training courses have been held, with 477 carers taking part. Of those 477, an impressive 89% completed feedback.

Feedback was given on the main aspects of the foster carer training, including:

  • content of the course
  • diversity
  • communication with the trainer
  • delivery
  • duration
  • catering and facilities.

Some highlights of the foster carers’ feedback include:

  • An overwhelming majority of carers responding very good or good to all of the areas highlighted above.
  • All of the carers stated that they would recommend Fostering People’s training courses to others.
  • All respondents stated that the course did meet its aims and objectives.

Foster carer training is an integral part of Fostering People’s commitment to ensuring that our carers are fully prepared for the challenges of fostering. If you’d like some more information about becoming a foster carer with Fostering People, call us on 0800 077 8159 or complete our enquiry form.
