Foster Carers RSE Training

5 June 2025

Absolutely excellent – one of the most valuable trainings in 14 years of foster caring.

This training is offered as part of a wider funded project with the aim of improving RSE outcomes for cared for young people through training foster carers. The training is evidence-based, trauma-informed and bespoke to the foster care context, and has been successfully piloted and independently evaluated.  

It is available for commission by local authorities, independent agencies or charities who support foster carers. It fulfils several fostering National Minimum Standards and is delivered by Sex Education Forum specialists with social care and/or SEND expertise.  

The training will: 

  • Increase the confidence and competence of your foster carers to address and discuss relationships and sex education (RSE) topics and issues with their young people.  

  • Increase awareness of wider support and signposting regarding RSE and how foster carers’ roles can contribute to better RSE outcomes through brief interventions. 

The training comprises 8 hours CPD, delivered as 4 x 2 hour sessions, either in person or online as small interactive group-work.
