answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/12/2018 answer text <p>The information requested on the number of foster carers and kinship carers that undertook training in 2017 is not held centrally.</p><p>The statutory framework, Fostering Services Regulations 2011, clearly sets out that all foster parents, including kinship foster carers, must receive the training and development they need to carry out their role effectively. All foster parents are required to complete the Training, Support and Development Standards within 12 months of approval as a foster parent and maintain a training and development portfolio. Over and above this, it is up to local fostering service providers to determine what training their foster parents undertake in order to meet local need.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 21/12/2018 10:15:59 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi
