PODCAST
Carer Learning & Development
Gaining the skillset and knowledge needed to fulfil the kinship carer role can seem daunting, especially when the young people in a person’s care have learning issues or have suffered trauma.
DFFH has set aside funding to support learning and development for carers via Carer KaFE.
In this podcast KCV interviews one carer who tells us about the things she realised she needed to learn and the support she sought once she became a kinship carer.
And we hear from Adam Lyons of Lancaster Consulting, who have been providing specialised support services and training for kinship and foster carers for well over a decade. Adam describes the program they run through Carer KaFE and the workshops and training they provide for carers.
