Since the first awards took place in 2014, the Fostering Excellence Awards have continued to grow year on year!
This year we found ourselves in extraordinary circumstances with the coronavirus pandemic causing significant difficulties to everyday life, not least for fostering.
Debbie Douglas, well-known to many from The Only Way is Essex and hit podcast The Brights, has today (Monday 9 September) been awarded The Fostering Network’s President’s Award for her exceptional contribution to fostering.
Year 1 (2016 - 2017) masterclasses focused on the theme of building resilience and understanding attachment.
Developed for foster carers, social workers, and designated teachers, the masterclasses delivered further learning on attachment theory, explaining how and why insecure attachments can impact learning, and how teachers and schools can support vulnerable learners and build resilience by being attachment aware.
The presentations delivered on the day can be found at the below links:
