Description

In today’s world, foster carers may have to respond to a wide range of sensitive and difficult issues that their fostered children or young people may encounter. As a carer, you may find these subjects hard to discuss, have little personal experience of them, or not know how best to approach them. This series of informative and accessible pamphlets will enable you to broach sensitive topics, respond to your child’s difficulties, recognise if your child is exposed to problematic situations, and safeguard and support them.

How can you help a young person in your care to develop healthy attitudes to sexual relationships? What about sexting and keeping safe online? What can you do to encourage safe sex and further an understanding of consent?

Who is this pamphlet for?

This pamphlet will be of great help to both new and experienced foster carers, and those who are looking after both children and young people. Social workers may also find the information useful.
