Approval, support and review of kinship foster carers

Some kinship carers are approved as kinship foster carers and therefore their situation and circumstances are often very different to mainstream foster carers. This course provides an opportunity to reflect on the statutory framework of approval, support, supervision and review of kinship foster carers and how this unique context differs from that of mainstream fostering. This course does not cover kinship assessment practice, but rather focuses on approval, support and review beyond the assessment process.  

LEARNING OUTCOMES

• Consider potential challenges and dilemmas in the approval of kinship foster carers
• Understand the regulatory context and purpose of kinship foster carer supervision, support and annual review
• Explore interpretation of National Minimum Standards for Fostering in the kinship context
• Increase confidence in how to respond to concerns or allegations
• Reflect on the bespoke support needs of kinship foster carers and how to meet them
