This is the registration page for the Caring for Children and Young People with trauma course.  These two courses are for foster carers and kinship carers working within the South Australia region.  The program is made up of a series of 5 online modules, including an introduction module.  Each module will take approximately 45 and 90 minutes to complete. The training has been designed for carers to complete each module at your own pace. While each module needs to be completed, you are able to stop at any point and then recommence when convenient for you. 

South Australian Carers are able to register for this course by completing the details below. Once registered, you will have access to the online course immediately.

This training has been developed by the Centre for Excellence in Therapeutic Care (CETC) in partnership with the Government of South Australia, Department for Child Protection (DCP). 

DCP values and respects the vital contribution of foster and kinship carers in supporting children to grow, develop and reach their full potential.  This trauma informed learning and development opportunity reflects the commitment of DCP to ensuring that carers are informed and supported, consistent with the Statement of Commitment for South Australian Foster and Kinship Carers.

There is no charge to complete this course.

The training package supports family based carers to develop their knowledge and skills to provide trauma responsive care to children and young people.  The content has been adapted to suit the unique needs of carers, through the development of a foster care package and a kinship care package.
