It can support Foster Carers to: Develop knowledge and skills in areas which interest them. Get together to share ideas and experiences and learn from each other.
At Safe Base Fostering each year our carers have to complete mandatory training -these include more specific training in Safeguarding, Emergency First Aid, Medication, Health and Safety, Managing Challenging Behaviour and Safer Caring and de-escalation.
We have a comprehensive training calendar with training offered in the office on a monthly basis. Training can be accessed online on a variety of subjects.
Training plays a vital part of the fostering role. Training refreshes your knowledge and helps build confidence in your day-to-day role.
