'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

TimeWise Information Evening

What is the process?

If you would like to join our team and become a TimeWise Foster Carer please give us a call on 01 842 45 25 or email us at info@timewisefostering.ie.

A member of our team will talk with you about the work we do, the model we use and the steps to becoming an approved TimeWise foster carer.

We will arrange a visit to your home so that you can meet us and together we will explore if fostering with the TimeWise Programme is right for you and your family and if you wish to proceed through the next steps to becoming a TimeWise foster carer.

From this point the process includes completing an application form, attending comprehensive informative training and a
3-4 month assessment process.

This process ensures that you can make an informed choice that TimeWise Fostering is for you!
