Theme
This half day course is an opportunity for panel chairs and members to consolidate knowledge of fostering assessment practice in the context of the recently published updated version of Form F. It will provide a focus on what constitutes a good assessment, including strengths-based assessments that evidence and analyse a prospective carer’s experiences, capacity, skills, and motivation. There will be the opportunity to discuss and learn about the new section on children’s needs and carer’s capacity to meet them.
