Working together with the team around the child

Joint training that brings foster carers, social workers and partners into the same room - strengthening practice and relationships.

Why joint training matters

Children do best when the adults around them work well together. HFCC's approved sessions bring foster carers and social workers into shared learning - on allegations, on working with birth parents, and on the realities of the team around the child.

Two separate booking routes

Foster carers and social workers each have their own booking calendar. If you are a social worker or partner, use the social worker route below. Foster carers use a separate link - both are preserved and authoritative.

Book your place

Social workers and partners book through the live HFCC social worker booking calendar. Availability, dates and capacities are managed there.
