CATCH for special guardians


CATCH offers a wealth of information and resources relevant to special guardians and kinship carers whether you are new to this role or have been a guardian for many years. Our resources provide a richer understanding of children who have experienced adverse childhood experiences and practical strategies to support them. We cover key topics including child development, education, behaviour, contact and much more.

 

“It’s been a brilliant resource. I’ve learnt so much about a variety of topics and the webinars have been excellent with such well-presented content. It’s really useful to be able to dip into it whenever I have a spare moment with its flexibility. There is little in the way of help and support for special guardians so this is really useful to have.” – Special guardian
