Whether you're new to foster care or already an experienced carer, Disability Matters can help you take your first step towards making a real difference in the life of a child with disabilities, and beginning a new stage in yours.

This online learning programme provides a wealth of information about disabled children and young people’s health and the lived experience of disability.

The Fostering Network has worked with the Disability Matters team to create this short learning package. It has been specifically designed to:

• improve your understanding of disability
• provide you with useful, practical advice on a range of issues
• build your confidence and communication skills
• enable you to support a disabled child to live a full and active life

Being a foster carer is a bumpy journey, with many twists and turns along the way, a challenge on a daily basis. To foster a child with a disability is no different. But it could be one of the best things you do.
