Foster Care Training Solutions

The best asset that Fostering Services have is their foster carers and with this in mind we design and deliver training to reflect this.

We fully understand the needs of Fostering Services starting from the initial training through to the development of the fosterer.

Redcurrant's passion and understanding about foster care is due to one of our Directors being a foster carer herself.

Our innovative approach to training ensures that everything we design and deliver is; relevant, interesting, fun (where appropriate), essential, encourages development whilst underpinning knowledge essential for the job, and supports the foster carer and the children in their care too.

All training compliments the ‘Skills to Fostering' national training program. We are fully aware of and prepared for the new developments in training that are due to come into effect very soon, ‘Foster Carer Training, Support and Development Induction Standards Framework' (The Care Council for Wales). We are committed to train to these new standards.

We are delighted to be currently working with a number of Foster Care companies across the country and if you require any information, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Corporate Training

Staff – the lifeblood of any company

Companies across the board in both private and the public sector recognise that investing in training is vital for future success.
In this tight economic climate, everyone is looking at how they can improve their commitment to staff training at the same time as cutting costs.
We take time to understand your business and investigate the areas you wish to develop and tailor the appropriate package to enable you to focus on your core competences and achieve your business strategy milestones.

Developing the appropriate business skills within your organization increases the chances of creating sustainable business growth.

Businesses need to be able to acquire, develop and adapt their staff skills to keep the organisation ahead of the competition.

A business development training program will equip the participants with the necessary skills to take their business forward and create sustainable growth. We at Redcurrant firmly believe in the continued training of our staff to benefit the company.
