A practical course helping foster carers support identity, tackle discrimination, promote equality, and advocate for children’s rights, culture and protected characteristics.
This course helps foster carers understand the varied backgrounds children come from, the importance of identity, and the impact of transitions between placements. Delegates explore cultural identity, discrimination, advocacy and how to promote equality, inclusion and positive self‑worth for children and young people in care.
In‑house courses are private sessions delivered exclusively for a group of people from your organisation, on a date that suits you, with the option to tailor the content to your staff and setting.
Open courses are public Equality and Diversity UK training dates that anyone can book onto, ideal when you only need training for one or two people.
