About
The Department for Education awarded a contract to The British Refugee Council to set up and deliver 1,000 training places at regional venues across England for foster carers and support workers of unaccompanied asylum seeking children.
The training aimed to equip participants with knowledge and skills to build swift and strong trusting bonds with these children, understand and respond to their particular needs and vulnerabilities including radicalisation, quickly gain children's trust to prevent them from running away from safe placements, and better understand and recognise the signs and risks of exploitation including trafficking.
The contract value was £148,000.
