Experience Learning
An understanding of relevant research and its practice implications is vital for those working with looked after children. As well as needing a basic understanding of, for example, safe care and child protection issues, foster parents and residential staff face the challenge of caring for young people who are likely to have experienced emotional or developmental trauma.
Akamas provides highly regarded online training for carers and support staff, from a range of short online courses to higher level tutor-assessed qualifications. All are mapped to relevant standards and guidance to help agencies demonstrate that they are meeting statutory requirements for training and support.
