Guidance for Managers, Supervising Social Workers and Trainers

This guidance has been published to support fostering service providers in the implementation of CWDC’s Training, Support and Development (TSD) Standards for Foster Care. The guidance has been developed in response to feedback from providers regarding the provision of further guidance and support. It captures key learning from implementation experiences and incorporates specific feedback from supervising social workers, managers and training officers who attended events held in September/October 2010. The guidance has been produced with input from an advisory group, comprising the Fostering Network, supervising social workers and managers from fostering service providers, both independent and local authority. This document forms part of a new resource pack for fostering service providers to help them with implementation. The pack includes: • This guidance document which summarises the requirements. • Guidance factsheet: Getting started with the TSD Standards. • Guidance factsheet: The workbook. • Guidance factsheet: Evidencing the TSD Standards. • Guidance factsheet: Assessing foster carers’ workbooks. • Guidance factsheet: Engaging all foster carers. All of these materials are available to download here.
