Portfolios

We encourage carers to use the training opportunities which are provided as part of their learning and development. To make the most of the training opportunities which are available, your fostering supervising social worker will discuss your learning and development needs as part of their ongoing work with you and as part of the foster care review process.  This information is used for our review of the training programme to see how we can better meet carers’ needs.

All carers will have their individual development portfolio and CWDC workbook.

For foster carers wishing to pursue a Level 3 Qualification the keeping of a portfolio is very relevant as once you have enrolled on the Level 3 programme your Assessor will guide you as to how the evidence can be used.
