CATCH offers a wealth of information and resources relevant to foster carers whether you are in the initial stages of the training process or have been a foster carer for many years. Our resources complement foster carer training to provide a richer understanding of children who have experienced adverse childhood experiences and life as a foster family. We also cover key topics relevant to foster carers including child development, education, behaviour, contact and much more.
