Here we will explore topics in depth, discuss real life case studies that practitioners are experiencing, and do our best to provide answers to questions or issues you are experiencing in your setting. In addition to this, we will keep you up to date on current research, keep you informed on what NGN is doing on the ground and we will help you to sharpen up your skills with hands on activities that you can take straight back into your setting. Join us for what promises to be a truly nurturing day.

Every day Kent foster carers provide very good care for many children and on occasions this care is exceptional. These awards are an opportunity to recognise and celebrate some of the excellent and remarkable work undertaken by foster carers and fostering staff in Kent.

Please complete the Post16 VSK Rewards Nomination Form 2016/17 for any Kent children in care and young care leavers in Years 12 and above that you feel should be considered for an award in one of our seven categories. A separate form needs to be completed for each child you wish to nominate and you must fully explain the contribution or improvement that has been seen over the past academic year. We won’t be able to consider nominations if they just have something like ‘yes’ or ‘excellent’ in the box; we need the story behind. The deadline for nominations to be received is Friday 8th September 2017.
