BASW Independent Fostering Assessors Virtual Network - September 2024
to 12:00pm
About this event
Fostering Support Group
New!
The idea for this group has organically grown from the BASW Independent Social Worker online FaceBook group, where people have been reaching out within the forum to share information, seek advice and guidance. Showing the need for a platform to discuss the positives and the issues impacting the fostering world. The responses have been very heartfelt and demonstrate the necessity of having a community support group, with a common theme of fostering assessments and the evolution of this work.
A place to express experiences and reflections. The fostering world, including all who work within this field, needs more attention and recognition. This member-led Fostering Support Group will help to bring about a community of assessors/workers from all walks of life. Who knows what ideas may transpire!
Meeting dates will all be held on a Tuesday at 10:30am - 12pm
• 1st October 2024
