Why become a Fostering Friendly Partner?
Many foster carers are caring for young people alongside maintaining their career. It’s important that they have an employer who understands what fostering involves, so they can balance work and fostering without having to choose between them.
As a Fostering Friendly Partner, you'll help your HR teams and line managers feel confident supporting colleagues who foster, and you'll show your people, and your wider community, that you care about children living with foster carers.
What's included
- Online learning modules for HR teams and line managers, covering how to support foster carers in your workforce
- Access to webinars to deepen your team's understanding and keep learning
- Quarterly newsletter updates with news, insight and ideas to keep your approach fresh
- Opportunities to join our awareness campaigns, helping to raise the profile of fostering and the need for more foster carers
