Foster carer learning and development
Training for foster carers
This section contains the full learning and development offer available through Leeds Fostering Service. We recommend completing the Training, Support and Development Standards (TDS) workbook and all mandatory learning and development before exploring the wider learning offer.
Children and young people in Leeds are at the centre of everything we do. Foster carers are encouraged to use this learning offer throughout their fostering journey to enhance their knowledge, skills and confidence in meeting the needs of the children and young people they support. You can also contact workforcedevelopment@leeds.gov.uk to discuss learning and development.
