Carers play a vital role in supporting the education of children in care. A stable, supportive home environment can make a significant difference to a child’s engagement with learning and progress in school. Training helps carers understand the education system, know what support is available, and feel confident in advocating for the child in their care.

Our sessions are informative, practical, and designed to empower carers to work in partnership with schools and AfC Virtual School.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
