Carer Q&A Session #4: Working collaboratively with your care team (Online) [EVENING SESSION]
Foster Care Association of Victoria Q&A Series for carers
It is often quoted “it takes a village to raise a child” however, for children & young people in care that village can seem complex and difficult for their carers to navigate.
This session provides a guide to understanding and accessing supports and services for children in care and creating collaborative partnerships with your foster child's care team. Many carers have reported that they are often excluded from meetings and feel disrespected. Learn about how FCAV are developing a Statement of Commitment which focuses on respect as a key ingredient in working with agency and DFFH staff to work collaboratively and ensure the child in your care is well supported as are you, the carer.
Presented by: Foster Care Association of Victoria
