Courses for parents and carers supporting PLAC or children in kinship arrangements

Courses for parents and carers supporting PLAC or children in kinship arrangements

Courses for parents and carers that are supporting Previously Looked After Children (PLAC) or those in kinship arrangements.

We’re thrilled to share an amazing opportunity for parents and carers in Worcestershire!

Worcestershire Virtual School has partnered with The Family Place to bring you three fully funded online workshops running in 2026, designed to empower and support families caring for children who are previously looked after or in kinship arrangements.

They provide therapy interventions for children, young people, and families who have experienced early developmental trauma, including adoptive, foster, SGO, and kinship care families.

All trainers are highly qualified clinicians with a deep understanding of the real challenges parents and carers face. Their approach is practical, compassionate, and grounded in expertise.
