Fostering Growth offer the following reviews:
Fostering Growth’s adaptable and flexible assessment options can be tailored to a particular type of care. Our assessors have effective communication skills.
Fostering Growth’s assessment reports provides in-depth analysis of the applicant’s skills along with recommendations for carer development and coaching. Our assessors are experienced and knowledgeable in understanding the impact of trauma on brain development, understanding trauma behaviours and various repair theories including the Santuary model, Circle of Security and Dan Hughes PACE model.
Fostering Growth’s assessors provide a safe and nurturing environment for applicants to explore their previous experience to demonstrate their skills. We acknowledge that some skills that are required for caring for children in care will not have been experienced by applicants who have not cared for children in care previously, so we identify future growth areas.
We cover areas including the impact of trauma on brain development, connecting challenging behaviors to a child’s early experiences, we identify the emotional, cognitive, social and cultural needs of children according to their age and development and effects of separation on placement.
Our therapeutic restoration services use current repair parenting theories and techniques including the Sanctuary Model, Circle of Security and PACE.
At Fostering Growth, we strongly believe it is possible to repair damage done in relationships, to forgive people and to move forward.
