Training

Chrysalis recognises the crucial role our foster carers play in the lives of our children and young people and how the training we provide can support and enhance the fostering task.

Whether you are newly approved or an experienced carer, the important role you play in children’s lives cannot be underestimated and each year we provide a bespoke training programme which encompasses a wide range of blended learning opportunities which are designed to meet your learning needs, promote your continued development, and support you in providing the best possible care to our children and young people.

Our Education Consultant:

Having come from a teaching background, I moved to Chrysalis with the aim of helping care experienced children and young people thrive in their education. From the moment I joined Chrysalis, it was clear that they placed children at the heart of everything they do.

Having now been here several years, I have had the honour of watching our children develop through their primary and secondary phases of education before progressing onto Further and Higher Education to follow their aspirations and dreams. Our team, foster carers and children make Chrysalis a very special place to work. Sally, Education Consultant

What Our Carers Say…

“The high level of training I have taken as a foster carer has also enabled me to use my strengths in the field of Therapeutic Parenting and share that with other foster carers at Chrysalis by delivering training in PACE and in Compassion fatigue. I feel valued as a professional and as a part of the team by enabling my transition from foster carer to trainer. It is one of my favourite things to be able to help others and give them the information that has supported me so well through the years.”

Cara, Therapeutic Foster Carer & Trainer

“I very much enjoyed this course, especially the section about early brain development.”

Jem – Guide to Education Training

“I really enjoyed the content of this course. This has spurred me on to conduct more personal research about brain development and trauma.”

Selina – Whole Brain Child

“The training was managed very well. It was structured and easy to follow and understand. The Trainer gave time and the opportunity for questions and reflections. I really enjoyed the course, it’s been very reflective and I’m looking forward to hopefully having a child in our home.”
