Welcome to the Essex Foster Carers Handbook
Getting Started:
Welcome to your online Foster Carers Handbook.
If you're using the handbook for the first time, please read the handbook guidance. This walks you through the layout and functions.
This handbook includes policies, procedures and guidance for foster carers. It's here to help you through situations foster carers face on a day to day basis. Also, you should use the handbook to support learning and development. Especially for new carers, to meet the induction standards. Please also use the search bar at the top of the page to generate results.
This is the start of a great journey for you and the children and young people you may work with.
