'Foundations for Fostering' Training Course

 From those who made telephone enquiries, some have now successfully completed the ‘Foundations for Fostering’ training course which took place in November 2008, May and September 2009, and April 2010. Their comments about their experiences so far to becoming Foster Carers with TimeWise include; “I thought the course gave me a good insight into fostering, especially with regard to birth parents and foster children’s feelings.” “I feel that TimeWise may fill a very important gap for children who have been separated from their birth family”.

TimeWise are now again seeking to recruit more Foster Carers living in North Dublin, Louth and Meath and will be hosting the Foundations for Fostering training course again during the year for all new prospective foster carers. If you would like further information, please do not hesitate to give us a call: (01) 842 45 25
