The Foster Carer's Handbook On Education

Viac o knihe

Some children in foster care struggle to get on with school - their ability to cope with its demands affected by the impact of experiences of neglect, trauma and loss. They need understanding and extra support. Foster carers are most likely to know whether a child is settling into a new primary school or if they are coping with the transition to secondary education. School staff need foster carers' guidance about how best to help children feel safe and understood in the classroom. This handbook aims to support foster carers in that task and so help children to have the best possible experience of education, right up to leaving care.
