Forthcoming Training Courses &
Foster Carer Support Groups
2008 - 2009
Our training events are usually held at Safehouses North offices or in the Saddleworth area. The following list indicates our current training plans for next year and 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.
