Promoting Education (Scotland)

Online Course • The Foster Carer Training Company

About the CPD course

All children have the right to be educated and school is compulsory in Scotland from the age of 4/5 till 16 with many learning and training opportunities available after the age of 16. Looked after children sadly tend to have lower educational achievements than their peers and therefore it is a vitally important part of your role as a foster carer to encourage your foster child with their education. Through education and with their educational needs supported children can grow and develop physically and emotionally; have a better understanding of the world and be given a wealth of learning opportunities.
