Men in fostering

Online Course • The Foster Carer Training Company

About the CPD course

Male foster carers play an important role in supporting; nurturing and encouraging children in care. Having a positive male role model can help children see how different family members work collaboratively and better value diversity. For some children who had a bad experience with men; you can help build back their trust in them. Male foster carers need to be valued; respected; trained; supported and; most of all; involved. This course will highlight the benefits; both for children in care and the carer themselves; as well as some specific challenges and recommendations.
