Apply to be a foster carer - how the process works


6. Becoming a Fostering Family training

The next stage is to begin our 'Becoming a Fostering Family' training course. This looks at the emotional, legal and practical aspects of fostering.

You have the chance to discuss what fostering might be like, for you and your family, and your assessing social worker will support you every step of the way.

Becoming a Fostering Family training takes place across eight sessions - six which are online two of which are face-to-face sessions where you'll meet our trainers.

For joint applications, both of you must complete and all sessions.

Throughout the course, we will meet to discuss your application and support you through the whole course.
