Such important comentary from FosterWiki Ambassador Carolyn Moody MBE "Spend a few minutes on social media, and you’ll likely come across them, those fostering adverts brimming with promises of warm cuddles, endless smiles, and the satisfaction of ‘making a difference’. While fostering is undoubtedly rewarding in profound and unique ways, these adverts often paint a dangerously misleading picture, doing a disservice to foster carers, children in care, and the fostering sector as a whole." We couldn't agree more. Our NFCQ Intergrated Assessment Process and NFCC Accredited Foundation qualification in Foster Care is worth advertising to potential carers, most of who will welcome an accredited qualificion. They aren't the only ones, the childen they care for will benefit hugely too. #fostercare #education #raisingstandards #betteroutcomes
Another super blog/article published today by our FosterWiki Ambassador Carolyn Moody MBE "Let’s get real. Fostering is not about babysitting children, it’s about providing a safe, stable, skilled and nurturing environment for young people who have endured unimaginable loss, instability, and trauma." "These children have been removed from their families, often losing everything familiar to them in the process. Foster carers don’t just provide a roof over their heads; they walk alongside these children through their trauma, loss, pain, anger, grief, and, hopefully, healing." 👉 https://lnkd.in/enDCkvnk #fostercare #retention #recruitment #reality #betteroutcomes #childrenincare
