Foster carers:
Supporting stability, growth, and healing

Foster carers provide safe, loving environments for children who have often experienced trauma, loss, and instability. The role comes with complex emotional and practical challenges. Our training gives you the tools and insights to navigate these challenges, so you can offer the best possible support.

Here are some of the challenges we help foster carers like you to manage

1. Understanding trauma-driven behaviours

Children in care sometimes express their emotions through challenging behaviours. Our training helps foster carers decode the hidden messages behind these actions, recognise the impact of trauma, and respond with empathy using strategies like the PACE approach (Playfulness, Acceptance, Curiosity, and Empathy).

2. Helping children cope with change and loss

From moving between homes to changing schools or losing meaningful relationships, children in care often experience ongoing transitions. We provide foster carers with the skills to support children through these changes, helping them process emotions, maintain stability, and build resilience in the face of uncertainty.

3. Building secure attachments and trust

Children in care often experience disrupted attachments, making it hard for them to trust adults. Our training explores how to create a safe, consistent environment where children feel valued and secure, using practical bonding techniques that strengthen relationships and promote long-term emotional well-being.

4. Advocating for the child’s needs

Foster carers often find themselves navigating complex systems— education, social care, and health services—on behalf of the children they support. Our courses provide insights into effective communication and advocacy, empowering foster carers to work collaboratively with professionals to ensure the child’s voice is heard and their needs are met.

5. Managing the emotional impact of foster care

Caring for children who have experienced trauma can be emotionally demanding. Foster carers need to balance providing support with maintaining their own well-being. Our training offers self-care strategies, peer support guidance, and techniques to manage the emotional highs and lows of fostering, helping carers sustain their crucial role without burnout.

What are your colleagues saying about us?

Hearing genuine first-hand experiences gives relevance to what is being taught. I feel more equipped to approach my conversations with young people, including my teenage son.

Feedback from 'Personal Connections'

Every child is unique. I now understand the importance of viewing each child individually and not relying solely on what has been written about them.

Feedback from 'Advocacy' course

The session provided practical tools for helping young people transition to adulthood. The 'radical honesty' approach resonated deeply with me.
