TSD 4 FOSTER CARERS.

Do you need help to complete your TSD workbook? 

 


The TSD Standards build on the Induction Standards for staff who work in children’s social care and have been adapted to meet the needs of foster carers, and to reflect their unique position of looking after children in their own homes.

The TSD Standards provide a national minimum benchmark that set out what all foster carers should know, understand and be able to do within the first 12 months of approval. They are designed to:

 

  •  Ensure that all foster carers receive relevant induction, training and   support, and continuing professional development.
  •  Assist managers and supervisors in assessing the skills, knowledge and experience of foster carers and in identifying their training and development needs.
