Permanent Care Conversion Webinar
Foster Care Association of Victoria in partnership with Carer Kafe: Kinship and Foster Care Education invites you to a webinar on permanent care conversions.
A permanent care conversion from foster or kinship care is a process you might be asked to consider if you have had a child or young person in your care for a number of years. Permanent care is for the life of the child and requires careful thinking about the responsibilities and tasks you are being asked to consider.
FCAV Project Coordinator Deb Collard will talk about what a permanent care conversion involves, including some of the legal requirements to be considered for permanent care.
Deb will talk to foster carer Vanessa who is currently going through this process, look at the assessment and training undertaken by prospective permanent carers, and explore available supports post legalisation.
