READ MOREThis protocol has been developed by The Fostering Network and the joint forum of Independent Fostering Providers and is issued with the support of ADCS.
READ MOREPlease do not resign from fostering unless you genuinely want to. The process is very different to resigning from a normal job. Resignation cannot be used to highlight a need for assistance or to avoid an allegation process however unfair it may be. You cannot withdraw your resignation. All resignations lead to deregistration. The Agency Decision Maker cannot ignore your resignation and you will have to be reassessed to foster again.
Your membership includes access to online courses at The Foster Care Training Hub.

You may have seen John Lewis Partnership announce their intention to become a fostering friendly employer.
FosterSupport is one of the organisations who have been working with them over the past year. After many months of collaboration this August we facilitated a series of bespoke training courses to JLP managers to give them an insight into the trauma informed training foster carers use when supporting young people to enable them to better understand how to support their care experienced employees. This collaboration will continue next year as they continue to expand their employment scheme. We have also had meetings to provide advice and information to support their bespoke fostering friendly employer scheme. With our support they plan to make this the gold standard policy for fostering friendly organisations. HERE is the video we made for them to promote the internal training sessions. The feedback we received from them about the training was brilliant.
