Course Overview
Here, each month you will find the coursework and any resources relating to each session. You can also revisit any of the topics we have covered to refresh your memory.
Each topic is divided into the following sections:
The home learning should take around 1.5 hours to complete and can be completed in one go, or by section, whatever works best for you
Some sections will be submitted to the therapeutic team and others will be for your own reference. You will be given clear instructions at each of these stages. If you have any questions or comments, please contact ed@blueskyfostering.co.uk
