  1. Training Plan and Support Events 2013 Grow and Develop with Family Options Through our service we will make a difference to peoples lives.

  2. Welcome to Family Options Training and Support Event Plan for 2013 We feel proud to offer this comprehensive training plan to our foster carers. You will notice some familiar training sessions that were successful in previous years. You will also see new training that we are trialling and we hope that you will enjoy and use within your everyday practice to enhance the lives of the children and young people you foster. This training plan is a live document and we hope to add to it throughout the year. Please book all of your places for training through Sarah Collins on sarah.collins@youngoptions.co.ukor by calling 07860404605. Alternatively you will regularly be asked to complete a Training Requisition form in your supervisions which will be passed on to Sarah.

  3. Welcome to Family Options Training and Support Event Plan for 2013 We have included a ‘Learning Record’into the training plans this year for you to be able to reflect on the training you have attended. This can also include any self learning you have achieved such as reading books or articles or training through your own employment that will assist with the fostering task. Your social worker will go through these with you as a part of supervision. It will also support any further learning and development areas you may want to cover. You will notice this sunflower on some pages – this represents specific foster carer training. Family Options have set aside dates for foster carers support events throughout the year. We have invited some guest speakers to discuss with you different topics from medication awareness to an Introduction to Pedagogy. We hope that you will enjoy these sessions. We will be adding to this training plan throughout the year as your local authorities complete their annual training plans from April and so we will inform you of any courses that will be appropriate for you in your area. However we are happy for you to look into training yourselves and inform us of your findings!

  4. Welcome to Family Options Training and Support Event Plan for 2013 We are awaiting confirmation of dates for ‘Prison – No Way’ awareness that carers and young people will be invited too. This workshop is aimed to prevent young people being involved in crime With the new Consultant clinical psychologist just coming on board we are awaiting dates for the PCMT training courses so again we will be in touch to update you of these when we have them. We are hoping to book a guest speaker to share his experiences of being in foster care as a child – we will keep you updated on this! Family Options are looking to access workshops for carers and young people to raise awareness of gang cultures. So please keep a look out for this too!

  5. Family Options have devised a ‘Training Pathway’ in respect of your Skills Payment Level. This will offer carers at level 1, 2, and 3 access to training courses appropriate for your level. Please see below the table for how this will work for you.
