When East Sussex County Council encountered difficulties in increasing training participation among foster carers due to a cumbersome credit-based system, they turned to FosteringTraining for a solution. By choosing a subscription-based model, foster carers gained immediate access to a wide array of e-learning courses, leading to a staggering 3,300% increase in training uptake. This approach not only simplified access to mandatory and specialised training but also delivered significant time and operational efficiencies for the council.

Explore how East Sussex County Council’s shift to a subscription model with FosteringTraining has redefined their foster care training, making learning accessible and impactful.

Discover how Nexus Fostering, an Ofsted-rated 'Outstanding' agency, achieved a remarkable 295% increase in training uptake by partnering with FosteringTraining. With our innovative training solution, foster carers can conveniently access training anytime, anywhere through a dedicated, Nexus-branded website. This flexibility allows them to learn at a pace that suits their individual needs and has resulted in a staggering total of over 3,870 hours of completed training in just one year. Carers have commended the courses for being not only informative but also easily accessible and perfectly tailored to fit into their busy schedules. Our training solution is more than just a platform - it's a commitment to empowering carers with the knowledge they need, whenever they need it.

Park Foster Care, part of CareTech, is a therapeutic fostering agency in England dedicated to providing nurturing environments for children in need. They were previously manually updating training records on CHARMS each time their carers completed training, a time-consuming yet essential task.
FosteringTraining and CHARMS have successfully integrated their solutions, resulting in the automatic and instantaneous update of training records upon course completion. Park Foster Care expects to save between 3 to 5 administrative days annually. This integration has greatly increased efficiency, improved data accuracy and compliance, and provides scalability. It has set a new industry standard, demonstrating the potential of such integrations to positively transform the management of care services.

"FosteringTraining has demonstrated exceptional commitment in understanding our local authority's needs. They are always willing to consider feedback and making changes to accommodate the ever-changing challenges and opportunities we face as a local authority, enabling us to provide the best possible support to our foster carers. Alongside their outstanding support and flexibility, the training is of a very high standard, engaging, comprehensive, and relevant to the needs of our foster carers. It enhances their knowledge and confidence in caring for vulnerable children. The majority of our foster carers  appreciate the e-learning courses provided by FosteringTraining.
We wholeheartedly recommend FosteringTraining to any fostering service in search of a reliable, flexible, and high-quality e-learning solution."

"FosteringTraining offers a great selection of content that is fostering specific and relevant to carers in Wales capturing the core learning opportunities required to meet the NFF requirements. Our carers find the courses intuitive to access, regardless of their IT skills. The voiceover on the training is a fantastic addition, as it fits different learning styles and needs. We have found that this training website has been a great asset to our kinship carers. The admin side is very simple and the support from the FosteringTraining team is invaluable."
