Creating Care
Creating Safe Environments for Children in need of Foster (Creating Care)
Duration: November 2021 – October 2024
Main goal
The goal of the project is to invest in the professional training and support of experts and foster families, as well as to address shortcomings around the support provided to foster families after the end of foster care.
To this end, the project aims to map the situation of childcare professionals and the situation of foster families in order to create tailored training for professionals and thus contribute to improving the key skills for the recruitment of foster families. At the same time, we want to contribute to raising awareness of the need for foster care for children and support in the form of a special application for families, to be utilised after completion of the foster care process.
