Empowering the frontline: Caritas Care and CATCH


Caritas Care has built a reputation over many decades for its commitment to adoption, fostering, and learning disability services across the North West. Since 2024, a key part of their commitment to excellence has been a partnership with CATCH (Children And Trauma Community Hub).

While many organisations utilise support resources for their families, Caritas Care has taken a targeted approach. Their use of the platform is specifically designed to support their practitioners.

By providing their staff with access to specialist training and trauma-informed resources, they ensure that the professionals on the frontline are equipped with the most up-to-date knowledge and tools.

Specialist support for practitioners

The partnership focuses on the professional development of the Caritas Care team.

Practitioners benefit from:

  • Evidence-based eLearning modules focused on trauma and attachment.
  • Access to expert-led webinars and case studies.
  • Resource libraries that assist in providing high-quality support to families.

By investing in the expertise of their staff, Caritas Care ensures that the guidance provided to adopters and foster carers is underpinned by professional rigour and a deep understanding of the complexities involved in modern social care.

This strategic use of CATCH highlights the charity’s dedication to maintaining a highly skilled workforce, ultimately leading to better outcomes for the communities they serve in Lancashire and beyond.
