- An understanding of the purpose of foster care
- Some insight into why children enter into care
- Information of what Wanslea offers to its foster carers, including the carer support available
- You will hear from a foster carer who will talk about their experience as a carer, and what happens when a child is placed with a foster carer
- Information on the next steps - where to from here and the assessment process
- A Q&A session
