The First Aid for Foster Carers Course is suitable for everyone who is currently or is seeking to become a Foster Carer, and meets Standard 6.7 of the National Minimum Standards for Fostering Services, which requires all foster carers to receive ‘.. basic training on … and first aid ..’
This 4 hour course was designed in conjunction with social workers from the Hertfordshire Family Placement Service and was then delivered to all of their foster carers. We have since delivered this course to foster carers and social workers across the U.K.
