In 2019 and 2020 we will be delivering a brand new series of conferences across the UK for our members.
The conferences will enable fostering service staff and foster carers to explore local, regional and national issues in fostering. You will hear news and practice developments from your area and The Fostering Network, as well as about the latest innovation in fostering. You will also have the opportunity to meet others from your fostering community.
It is important that all panel members receive training to ensure that they have a clear understanding of what their responsibilities are. Training together will also ensure that panel members from different disciplines and backgrounds can work together more effectively.
The Fostering Services (England) Regulations 2011 specify that all fostering services must have a fostering panel.
This course is aimed at all panels, new or established.
