Forthcoming Training Courses &
Foster Carer Support Groups
September 2009 - July 2010
Our training events are usually held at Denshaw Village Hall or in our Training Room at Calf Hey Barn. The following list indicates our current training plans up to July 2010 but may be subject to change.
Foster carers are expected to attend training regularly. The Children's Workforce Development Council requirements state that all foster carers must complete a certain amount of training in their first year of fostering to demonstrate that they can achieve the required standard.
