Therapeutic Fostering
The Therapeutic Fostering Assessment (TFA)
Created by Sarah Naish at The Centre of Excellence in Child Trauma
from extensive years of experience in the fostering sector.
Our pilot phase was highly successful and we have thoroughly tested the new assessment process. We are now excited to announce that we are ready to move forward with the launch of our groundbreaking assessment program.
The new Therapeutic Fostering Assessment seamlessly integrates all necessary training, including the Training Support & Development (TSD) and All Wales Induction Framework (AWIF) requirements.
It also provides therapeutic foster parents with a Customise Qualification Level 2 Award in Therapeutic Fostering (TFQ), accredited by the nationally recognised awarding body NCFE CACHE, during their assessment.

Trauma-Informed Panel Training
Our training program for fostering panels is designed to provide better support to individuals who are looking to become foster parents. It is crucial to have an understanding of trauma-informed approaches during the assessment process. By incorporating such approaches, the assessment process can become more effective in identifying individuals who are well-suited to provide a safe and nurturing environment to foster children who have experienced trauma.
