Fostering Digital Skills is a course for foster carers; based on the principles of Digital Resilience which gives us a structure for discussing the opportunities and issues that are specific to fostering and the lives of care experienced young people. Foster carers attending this one-day course will have a better understanding of online risks and the confidence to support children and young peoples recovery online. As a result; care experienced young people should become independent digital citizens; ready to take advantage of the opportunities that being online can give them.
As the UK’s leading fostering charity, we are the essential network for fostering and we bring together everyone who is involved in the lives of fostered children. We support foster carers to transform children’s lives and we work with fostering services and the wider sector to develop and share best practice.
We work to ensure all fostered children and young people experience stable family life and we are passionate about the difference foster care makes. We champion fostering and seek to create vital change so that foster care is the very best it can be.
