The Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC) has extended the period of consultation on the Standard for Foster Care. Anyone with an interest in or role in foster care in Scotland is invited to provide their views by 30 September 2016.
The Standard for Foster Care will support the crucial and often life changing service foster carers provide for Scotland’s children and young people. It will provide a national accredited approach to training and development that will provide the opportunity for:
- more joint working between fostering agencies
- less duplication of training
- improved access to learning and support
- learning that foster carers can take with them to other agencies or careers
We would encourage you to not only respond as an organisation but use any means you can to encourage foster carers and other staff to respond as well.
If you would like a member of the SSSC team to visit you to speak with staff or carers please do get in touch.
