Foster carers or people who work or volunteer in health and social care settings constitute a large and diverse sector of the workforce and they are invariably caring for those who are in some way vulnerable and are still learning about risk and how to keep themselves safe. In order to ensure that service users and children are safe, it is essential for those working with them to be safe and healthy at work and within their practice and should receive ongoing and up-dated training to be able to ensure this.

Understanding child development is an essential task for social workers, foster carers and every member of the children’s workforce. A good understanding of normal child development equips workers to promote healthy development and enables them to recognise signs that a child or young person is not thriving or may need protecting from harm. This course provides that understanding and enables learners to relate this to their role in working with children and young people.
