Have you read/used the "square peg in a round hole" toolkit for including underserved carers in fostering services (inc. male and #kinship carers)?
It's full of shared experience from carers, and "small step" practical tools, plus questions for reflection/supervision!
For #KinshipCareWeek, we wish to share the InCLUDE project's toolkit, which can help fostering services think about how to be more inclusive of kinship carers. Please share to further increase its reach and impact to support meaningful change 😊

This from Anna Freud is a breath of fresh air in the fostering sector.
Why? Because it focuses on the importance of foster carer’s mental, so important for the relationships between them and children in their care.
Free to join, CPD, great opportunity

“We’ve been on quite a few courses & it’s mentioned that you must look after yourself, this is the first one where we actually got, yes, we now know how to look after ourselves.”
Unmissable foster carer opportunity 👇

I never recommend things I dont’ believe in.
This is one of them, about helping carers look after themselves, so they can build strong, supportive relationships with the children in their care.
Please sign up and help influence support for carers.

A kinship carer is when a family member, like a grandparent, looks after a child that can’t remain in the care of their parents.

We need to understand what foster carers need, but we also need to understand what children in care need from that relationship. Knowing this, it can help with the stability of the relationship.

Lots of lovely learning from @AFNCCF’s Include Me project. Very relevant to @ChildFamJustice @kinshipcharity project with peer researchers @clarewalshlab @Sharon_Kinship working with kinship carers to co-create a toolkit to support meaningful participation in research
