While the experience of fostering over the years provides invaluable insight, ongoing foster care training remains essential in ensuring that our foster parents are equipped with the latest knowledge, techniques, and support strategies. At Family Fostering Partners, we believe that learning is life-long, and we are committed to providing both our new foster parents, and our experienced foster parents, with the foster care courses needed to continue making a positive impact.
Foster care is an ever-evolving landscape, with new research, policies, and best practices emerging regularly. Ongoing foster care training helps experienced carers:

At Family Fostering Partners, we offer a wide range of foster care training opportunities tailored to specifically meet the needs of our experienced foster parents. These include:
Although a lot of our training is delivered in the traditional setting, the digital age has transformed the way foster care training can be delivered. Many experienced foster parents are now able to access learning materials through virtual platforms, making training convenient and accessible. Online training modules, live webinars, and virtual support groups enable foster parents to engage in continuous learning without geographical limitations.
No two fostering families are the same, and their training needs can differ based on their own personal knowledge or experience, or the needs of the children they care for. At Family Fostering Partners, we recognise the importance of tailoring foster care courses to suit individual experiences and circumstances.
For example, a foster parent fostering teenagers may benefit from training on Internet Safety, whereas someone fostering younger children may focus on early childhood development and Attachment Theory. By offering a flexible approach to training, we ensure that our foster parents receive the most relevant and useful information to help them in their journey.
Ongoing foster care learning doesn’t just benefit foster parents—it also enhances the lives of the children they support. When foster parents receive up-to-date training, they are better equipped to create stable, nurturing, child centred environments.
Children who feel understood and supported are more likely to thrive in their placements, develop trust in their foster parents, and build the foundations for a brighter future. Training ensures that foster parents can confidently address challenges, advocate for the child’s needs, and provide a home environment that promotes healing and growth.
At Family Fostering Partners, we are dedicated to ensuring that all our foster parents, whether new or experienced, have access to the highest quality foster care training. If you are an experienced foster parent looking for additional support or considering joining a fostering agency that prioritises training and development, we’d love to hear from you. Together, we can continue learning, growing, and making a lasting difference in the lives of children in care.
