It will also provide clarity about the role of the agency and the supervising social worker in monitoring, reviewing, evaluating and supporting foster carers, whilst making certain that practice is transparent and compliant with the law.
This course is aimed at; foster carers, referral and assessment social workers, family support social workers and supervising social workers.
Learning outcomes:
- Understand the legal and regulatory bases for parent and child arrangements
- Recognise the roles and responsibilities of the foster carer and the parent
