The global shift to deinstitutionalize childcare systems has created an urgent demand for building solid and competent foster care systems, including childcare training for foster parents and kinship carers. There is a growing need in the foster care field for high-quality and low-cost foster parent education to improve the living conditions of children placed in foster care. To meet this global challenge, Fairstart Foundation will launch a new international online foster care instructor education in January 2018.
The instructor education is tailored especially to governments and NGOs who are in need of an inexpensive solution that generates positive results both short-term and long-term. The education is low-cost, user-friendly and practice-oriented. Most importantly, all participants are encouraged to be co-designers and Fairstart's aim is to adapt the teaching material to local cultures and circumstances.
