New foster parents are required to complete foundation and intermediate training courses, designed to equip them with basic knowledge and skills, such as understanding the role of a foster parent and the trauma that foster children may have gone through.

• Foster Care in Context

• Bonding and Attachment

• Grief and Loss

• Abuse and Trauma

• Identity and Birth Family Contact (Access)

• Managing Challenging Situations

• Teamwork

• Managing Closure

Besides the foundation and intermediate training courses, there are also specialised courses such as Positive Parenting Programme and elective courses that foster parents can sign up for. Elective courses teach additional skills in areas such as parenting teenagers, working with birth parents and achieving cyber-wellness. Trainings are usually held on Saturday mornings.
