Private Fostering Training

Time now confirmed 12:00pm – 1:00pm

Our proposal is to provide half an hour online training with an additional 15 minutes Q and A on the 5th of November which is  National Fostering day and then provide this training quarterly there on.

This is the training in summary:

Learning Objectives: Private Fostering in England (Half-Hour Module) with 15 minutes Q and A.

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

1. Define private fostering and understand how it differs from fostering through a Local Authority or private fostering agencies.
2. Recognise common scenarios that may constitute private fostering, including cultural and situational examples.
3. Understand the legal responsibilities of professionals and agencies in identifying and reporting private fostering arrangements.
4. Clarify the role of the Local Authority in assessing and supporting private fostering arrangements.
5. Identify key safeguarding considerations and how private fostering links to wider child protection duties.
6. Know where to access further guidance and support regarding private fostering in their local area.

There will be a PDF for download that supports the information and provides a summary of the requirements and process.
