Event description

The Purpose for the support groups



We realise that fostering can be really difficult at times. Perhaps the only people who really understand it are other foster carers and so therefore we want to give you a place to meet up.

There will be biscuits and/or cake, coffee, tea, and an opportunity for an informal chat at all of the meetings.

Although these will be informal meetings, each session will have a brief agenda, attendance list, and agreed group rules. This is to help those who don’t know anyone and feel awkward about coming along to a new meeting, to feel that they won’t be left alone on the side-lines.

Sometimes there will be speakers and topics as requested by the group, this will hopefully make it as relevant to your fostering as you like.

These sessions should be recorded on your Personal Development Plan (PDP).

Learning outcomes

The Agenda is:

- How are we all?
- Games with Grace and Katie, including Giant Jenga, rounders, connect 4 and more.
- Catch up how have things been and your child’s wellbeing.
- Children would need to bring own lunch/Snack this is to ensure we are not handling food.
- How are they currently feeling about returning to school and how the world is now a year later?
- How has this impacted your life and things they would like to do again and miss.
- We want to allow the child the time and space to have their voices heard about the effects Covid-19 and fostering on them.
